Patrolman Gilbert E. Ramirez, a 34-year-old Hispanic officer with the San Antonio Police Department, was killed on December 24, 1983, in San Antonio, Texas. He had served five years with the department. Near the end of his shift he responded to a domestic disturbance on Tedder Street, an address and suspect he reportedly recognized from his church. After arriving he encountered the suspect armed with a shotgun and initially did not draw his weapon while attempting to de-escalate.

When the suspect would not drop the gun, Patrolman Ramirez returned to his patrol car to radio for help. The suspect then charged and shot him in the face, causing immediate death. He left a wife and two children.

Does anyone have information about the suspect, the investigation, or where Patrolman Ramirez is memorialized?
