Authorities today publicly identified a 19-year-old man who allegedly advanced on San Diego Police Department personnel and pointed a BB pistol at them last weekend at San Ysidro Transit Center, prompting a patrol officer to fatally shoot him.
SAN DIEGO –
The events that led to the fatal gunfire began shortly before 9 p.m., when police received a report of an armed man causing a disturbance on a light- rail tram approaching the depot in the 700 block of East San Ysidro Boulevard. Ignoring the officers’ repeated orders to drop the gun, Ramos allegedly raised it in their direction and began approaching them, prompting Officer Ruben Berton to shoot him repeatedly with his service rifle, authorities said.
