Bulmaro Aleman Ramirez, aged 39, was tragically killed on July 5, 2014, in Fresno, California. His death was part of a double homicide that also claimed the life of 31-year-old Jose Lopez. The incident occurred inside a home located at 3652 E. Mono Avenue in southeast Fresno. Both men were found shot to death when police arrived at the scene around 6:30 p.m. that evening.
The Fresno Police Department's Street Violence Section quickly identified the case as a gang-related crime, specifically involving members of the Bulldog gang.
In the aftermath of the murders, the police launched an intensive investigation that led to the identification and arrest of several suspects. Gabriel Ornelas, aged 23, and Alberto Perez, aged 27, were apprehended at a business on South Chestnut Avenue. Another suspect, 34-year-old Eduardo Serrano, was arrested at a separate location on East Balch Avenue. Despite these arrests, two suspects, Matthew Porraz, aged 21, and Santino Moreno, aged 33, remained at large. Both men were considered armed and dangerous, with Porraz also being wanted for another murder that occurred on May 2 of the same year.
The Fresno County District Attorney formally charged all five suspects with two counts of murder, with additional gang enhancements and one count of robbery. The charges underscored the severity of the crime and the gang-related motives behind it. The investigation into the murders of Bulmaro Aleman Ramirez and Jose Lopez highlighted the ongoing issues of gang violence in Fresno, prompting law enforcement to intensify their efforts to combat such crimes.
The community was deeply affected by the double homicide, and the police urged anyone with information about the whereabouts of the remaining suspects to come forward. The case remained a stark reminder of the dangers posed by gang activities and the impact of such violence on the victims' families and the broader community. The pursuit of justice for Bulmaro Aleman Ramirez and Jose Lopez continued as authorities worked tirelessly to bring all responsible parties to account.
