Bus Driver Fatally Shot Over .50 Fare

Three young individuals were taken into custody after a tragic incident resulted in the fatal shooting of a bus driver in Georgia. Leroy Ramos, 47, was shot multiple times on the evening of January 3rd following a dispute over fare at Decatur Station in the metro-Atlanta area. The suspects, now facing murder charges, engaged in an argument with Ramos before the deadly altercation.

Cellphone footage of the altercation, as reported by WSB-TV, shows the teens refusing to pay the bus fare, leading to a confrontation. One of the juveniles, wearing a red hood, allegedly pulled out a gun and shot Ramos multiple times. The incident has sparked conversations about the increasing violence against transit workers nationwide, with assaults on these workers tripling since 2008, according to data from the Urban Institute.

Ramos’ family is advocating against gun violence and advocating for safer working conditions for public service workers. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched in honor of Ramos, emphasizing the need for change and unity in the face of such senseless acts of violence.

MARTA’s General Manager and CEO addressed the incident in a video statement, emphasizing the need for de-escalation in public interactions. Ramos, described as a beloved husband and father who valued life and helping others, had only been working as a bus operator since October but had already made a positive impact on his colleagues.

The tragic loss of Ramos serves as a reminder of the importance of unity and community in combating violence and ensuring the safety of public service workers.
