Alphonse Jr. and Harris took more than $135 from Ramirez Montes after beating him, kicking him and firing 9 shots at the victim who died at the scene. The Ramirez Montes homicide was video recorded by an outdoor home video surveillance camera.
According to the autopsy report, Dr. Brian Peterson, a Forensic Pathologist for the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office, performed an autopsy on August 31, 2020 on the victim, Filigonio Ramirez Montes, and ruled his death a homicide. Dr. Peterson located nine gunshots to the victim which occurred to the right side of the victim's chest, outside left calf, inside left calf, left upper arm, left of back near arm pit, left side of back, right side of lower back, midline mid-back, and left side of groin.
