Uvalde school shooter’s body was stored outside the city for weeks as family fought over his remains

In this photo from surveillance video provided by the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District via the Austin American-Statesman, gunman Salvador Ramos — carrying an AR-15-style rifle — enters a hallway at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, Tuesday, May 24, 2022. In death, the 18-year-old mass shooter —Ramos’ body was kept in storage far from Uvalde for weeks as his splintered family squabbled over his remains, according to Uvalde County Justice of the Peace No.

Diaz said he had Ramos’ remains stored at a morgue in Lockhart — east of San Marcos and a two-and-a-half hour drive from Uvalde — before a out-of-town funeral home stepped in to handle his remains and Ramos was released to his relatives, Diaz said. Before his rampage at Robb Elementary, Ramos shot his grandmother in the face at her home and then drove her pick-up to the school, crashing it in a ditch near the school. The grandmother — Celia Martinez Gonzales, 66 — survived; she was released from San Antonio’s University Hospital in late June.Ramos was cremated in a nondescript building on South Frio Street on the western edge of Downtown San Antonio, his death report shows.

“That’s 75 extra people added to their normal workload,” Diaz said. “We’re three months in, and all I’ve got is the preliminary reports.”The justice of the peace said he made arrangements for the medical investigators to answer questions posed by state police investigators and District Attorney Christina Mitchell Busbee, so their investigation of the mass shootingis not delayed further.
