Ruben Narciso Ramirez, a 37-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on February 17, 2019, outside Flip’s Neighborhood Bar on Country Club Road in El Paso, Texas. The shooting followed a physical altercation during which 29-year-old Josue Rojas Jr. is reported to have retrieved a gun from his vehicle and fired, striking Ramirez and wounding two others, manager Bryan Scott Melendez and Emmanuel Calderon. Ramirez was taken to University Medical Center and pronounced dead; Melendez and Calderon suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Rojas fled the scene after the shooting but later surrendered at the Westside Regional Command Center. He was charged with two counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and held on $60,000 bond; detectives were continuing their investigation and additional charges were anticipated. Ramirez’s family filed a civil suit against Flip’s Neighborhood Bar, brought by Brianna Denice Ramirez on behalf of his estate, alleging the bar’s negligence in handling the situation.

Are there witnesses or information about what sparked the altercation or how the bar staff responded that could help clarify what happened?
