How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Around 3 a.m., Rosa Ramos called 911 to report a domestic disturbance. Sheriff's deputies Robert Oyervidez and Juan Cortez III, and Precinct 6 Constable's Sergeant Perez responded. Ramos fought all three deputies, who eventually handcuffed him. After restraint, he complained of breathing issues. According to The Brownsville Herald Rosemary Villareal, who claimed to be an eyewitness, said that a deputy sat on Ramos to subdue him, causing him to suffocate.
