SAN ANTONIO — June marks the fifth year since San Antonio professional boxer, George Ramos, was shot and killed at a gas station on the city's northwest side.
The case remains unsolved, but his family continues searching for answers and seeking justice for his murder.
Jessica Ramos, George's mother, says boxing was life for her 18-year-old son. Although he can no longer fight, she is now fighting to bring him justice.
“He was a blessing to us. He was very outgoing, great personality. He loved his family,” said Ramos.
Jessica says the past five years have been difficult since the fighter was shot and killed.
It was on June 20, 2019 when San Antonio Police responded to a vacant building at an old gas station near Les Harrison and Culebra Road.
When police arrived, they found 18-year-old Ramos dead inside a crashed white Ford Expedition. Police say he was shot multiple times. Jessica recalls arriving at the scene.
“My husband tells me like 'He’s already passed,' and I was like 'No like, why didn’t they take him to the hospital, like let’s go,' and they said 'no like, he’s already passed,'” said Ramos.
George's murder has left many questions unanswered.
“What do we do now and then the questions Who? Why? Why did you do this to my son?” said Ramos.
According to witnesses, a suspect left the scene in a red four-door car. An arrest was made in the case, but the charges were dismissed.
Although it's been five years, Jessica and her family continue fighting for justice for George, and they are hopeful someone will come forward with information.
“I know you're scared. I know you have these thoughts and these feelings, but to the person who saw them and can I.D. them, you know you're the only one left in this puzzle to put this and get justice for George," said Ramos.
Jessica says finding the person responsible would give her family some sense of closure.
"It doesn't bring him back, but at least we would know that they're not enjoying life the way I can't enjoy life," she said.
San Antonio Police say the case is still open and under investigation. Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for information leading to an arrest.
