A jury has convicted an illegal immigrant of killing a father and two of his sons in a gang-related shooting that also drew attention to San Francisco’s sanctuary policy

Edwin Ramos, 25, was found guilty of three counts of first-degree murder as well as a single count of attempted murder. He could face life in prison without the possibility of parole when he is sentenced. Ramos opened fire on a car carrying Tony Bologna, 48, and his three sons — Michael, 20, Matthew, 16 and Andrew — in June 2008. Ramos was seeking revenge for the shooting of a fellow MS-13 gang member earlier in the day. Under the city’s sanctuary policy, Ramos, an illegal immigrant, had never been turned over for deportation despite previous run-ins with the law as a juvenile. Under the sanctuary policy, illegal immigrants charged with crimes as minors were not handed over to federal immigration officials but instead flown home or housed in California at the city’s expense.
