Edwin Ramos

Edwin Ramos

Edwin U. Ramos (born October 12, 1986) is a Salvadoran gang member, convicted felon, and murder suspect. An illegal immigrant from El Salvador and member of the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and Sureño street gangs, he is the suspect in the June 22, 2008 triple murder of Anthony Bologna and his sons, Michael and Matthew, in San Francisco. If convicted, Ramos faces life imprisonment without parole. Ramos was born in El Salvador, grew up in San Francisco, and later moved to El Sobrante, California. As a teenager, Ramos twice served probation for violent crimes but was not deported. Ramos's case brought much attention and outrage over San Francisco's sanctuary city policy that prevented city officials from enforcing federal immigration law. Shortly after the murders, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom revised the policy to allow the city to refer undocumented juvenile felons to federal authorities.
