Check out the clip … Ramos jumps out of the passenger side of the SUV and pepper sprays the pot dealers in the backseat of their vehicle. Two of the dealers then hop out of their car, but one quickly gets back into the front passenger seat after firing a gunshot at Ramos.
The other armed teen then opens fire at Ramos as she runs away, while getting struck by at least one bullet, but you don’t see it on film.
Ramos’ relative, who was also in the SUV, then drives away to escape the chaos. But the relative soon returned after the suspects fled in their vehicle to find Ramos dead on the ground.
The relative told KTVU … Ramos -- who had 7 daughters and 1 son -- confronted the dealers to tell them to stop coming over to their house to sell the vape pens to her kids. As for the suspects, police arrested two of them, including the shooter.
