Anthony Tony Bologna, 48, was shot and killed on June 22, 2008, in the Excelsior district of San Francisco along with his sons Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16. The family had been returning from a barbecue in Fairfield when the attack occurred near their home. Tony was reportedly going to rest before his night-manager shift at a supermarket later that day.

Initial reports described the shooting as road rage over a vehicle being blocked, but investigators later concluded the shooter, 21-year-old Edwin Ramos, mistook the Bolognas for rival gang members and shot them in retaliation for an unrelated attack on MS-13 members earlier that day in the Mission District. Ramos was arrested on June 25, 2008, and charged with triple murder and attempted murder, with enhancements for multiple victims and gang membership; reports say he had a prior criminal history.

The family’s surviving members, including Tony’s wife Danielle, were left to grieve, and the case drew attention because the victims were apparently unaffiliated with gangs. Does anyone have memories of the Bolognas or information about that night that could shed light on what happened?
