The parents, armed with handguns, reportedly confronted the man outside and told him to wait for police, but he walked away and they followed, court documents state.
The sheriff’s office said the couple followed the man to a gas station. The wife reportedly held the man while the husband went to the window to ask the clerk to call 911.
At that time, the sheriff’s office says, the man took the handgun from the wife and pointed it at her.
According to court documents, the wife stated that Ramos tried twice to fire it at her, but the gun was on safety.
The sheriff’s office said the husband then shot the man. Ramos was reportedly shot three times and was taken to the hospital.
