38-year-old Heriberto Ramirez killed in Tyler restaurant shooting, suspect Scottie Goble in custody
The suspect’s vehicle had license plates that read “certified firefighter.”
Tyler, Texas – Heriberto “Eddie” Ramirez tragically lost his life after being shot in the abdomen during an incident at Juniors Taqueria, a family-owned business in Tyler.
The suspect, identified as Scottie Lee Goble, and others had been previously expelled from the restaurant months ago due to a service-related dispute.
The incident occurred on Friday, October 11th, at approximately 12:20 PM.
The suspects returned to the restaurant, placed an order, and then complained that it was incorrect.
Despite the owners’ attempts to resolve the issue, the individuals continued to exhibit aggressive behavior towards other customers.
The owners decided to refund the suspects’ order and asked them to leave the establishment.
However, the confrontation continued outside, and Eddie Ramirez intervened to help his brother and de-escalate the situation.
The suspect then opened fire, fatally injuring Eddie.
The suspect’s vehicle had license plates that read “certified firefighter.”
While Tyler Police have not confirmed whether the plates belong to an official fire department or if the suspect is a volunteer firefighter, they are investigating the matter.
The suspect was apprehended at the scene and transported to the Smith County Jail. He is facing murder charges and has been assigned a bond of $500,000.
Eddie Ramirez’s mother, Blanca Ramirez, has expressed her gratitude for the prayers and support offered to the family during this difficult time.
