Suspect wanted in deadly shooting of father and son in Madera County, deputies say

MADERA COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- A father and son are dead and another person is injured after a shooting at two different scenes in Madera County on Sunday morning.

It all happened at about 4 a.m. near Las Palmas Avenue and Paraiso Street.

The Madera County Sheriff's Office says the son was a guest at a wedding that was held at a home on Avenue Nine.

The father was at a home on Las Palmas Avenue while playing cards in the garage with a group of people.

A 15-year-old boy, described as acquaintance of the father and son, was also shot and injured.

It's unclear where he was when he was shot. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

Officials say 51-year-old Francisco Trejo Ramirez, an acquaintance of the victims, has been identified as the suspect.

After the shooting, deputies say Ramirez left the scene in a 2007 silver Tacoma pickup truck with a California license plate 80760B2.

"We're asking the public's assistance to help us locate Francisco Ramirez. He's wanted here in connection with the two murders that happened here today," said Madera County Sheriff Tyson Pogue.

Pogue says Ramirez is believed to live in Madera and is the only suspect at this time.

If you see Ramirez, deputies say you should call 911 and do not approach him, as he is considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact detectives at (559) 675-7777, or at Crime Stoppers at 559-498-STOP (7867).

A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the victims' family.
