A 45-year-old woman was shot and killed, allegedly by her partner, late Sunday afternoon in Tucker, according to police.
The shooting took place around 5 p.m. in the 1600 block of Brantford Drive, DeKalb County police said. When officers got there, they found Angeles Santos dead from a gunshot wound.
Investigators believe the suspect is Salomon Ramos. The initial investigation pointed to Ramos allegedly accusing Santos of having another man at the house prior to shooting her, a news release states.
Authorities are still looking for Ramos, who Channel 2 Action News reported was her estranged husband.
No other details were released by police.
One of Santos’ sons, Uriel Ramos, told Univision he’d been out selling tamales that his mother had made earlier that day when he got a text from his brother asking him to please come home.
“When we got back to the house, the police were already there outside,” he told the news station in Spanish.
Santos was a good person, the most cherished, Uriel Ramos said, adding that there was a history of the suspect accusing his mother of things that weren’t true.
While the rest of the family had grown tired of supporting Salomon Ramos, Santos “still wanted to help him,” her son said. “Imagine that.”
“I can’t describe my emotions because they are so intense in this moment,” Uriel Ramos said. “But if the people can help us find (the suspect), to look for him, to seek justice for my mother, it’s the last thing we can do for her at this point.”
