In the summer of 2022, a quiet street in Tucker, Georgia, became the scene of a tragedy that cut short the life of 45-year-old Angeles Santos. On a late Sunday afternoon, police were called to a home in the 1600 block of Brantford Drive, where they discovered Santos had been fatally shot. The investigation quickly pointed to a suspect: her estranged husband, Salomon Ramos.
According to police, the motive for the shooting appeared to stem from Ramos's accusation that Santos was with another man. Their son, Uriel Ramos, later recounted that he and his sister had left the house just ten minutes before the shooting to sell tamales his mother had made. He described a history of domestic troubles, stating that his father had been asked to leave their home weeks before the incident due to his struggles with addiction. In a heartbreaking turn of events, Santos was reportedly holding her grandchild when she was shot.
In the days following the murder, Salomon Ramos, who was either 45 or 50 years old at the time, became a fugitive. Authorities tracked his movements to Franklin, North Carolina, where he was seen on surveillance footage renting a motel room. He was described as being armed and dangerous, and law enforcement officials warned that he was actively seeking transportation and attempting to leave the Franklin area. The U.S. Marshals Service offered a reward of $2,500 for information leading to his capture. Family members expressed their fear and pleaded with the public for any information that could lead to his arrest, mentioning that he had ties to Arizona and Mexico. Despite these efforts, there have been no publicly available reports of his arrest, and his current whereabouts remain unknown.
