Following the shooting at Robb Elementary School, Adriana Reyes, also known by her stage name Martinez, publicly asked for pardon for both herself and her son Salvador Ramos. The 18-Year-Old’s grandmother Celia Martinez Gonzalez was his first victim after he accidentally shot her in the face during an argument over his failure to earn a high school diploma.
After that, Ramos stole Celia’s car and drove to the Uvalde school where he slammed into a desk and opened fire on 19 students and two teachers.
Reyes’ mother recently pleaded with people not to judge her son, saying that her son “had his reasons for doing what he did. Ramos was said to have lived with his grandmother because of a tense relationship he had with his mother. “I only want to be forgiven,” Reyes continued, “by the innocent children who died. I apologize; my son also apologizes. I am aware of his motivations. “.
Reyes responded, “It was to get closer to those children,” when asked by CNN why her son chose the elementary school. I’d rather focus on the other negative things, but I’m at a loss for words. I’m unsure. “.
She claimed in broken Spanish that she was speechless and unable to understand what her son was thinking. Reyes denied being a drug addict who witnessed the boy leave her and move in with his grandmother in a separate interview with DailyMail. “My son didn’t behave violently. By what he did, I assume. I offer up prayers for those families. Yes, I am praying for each and every one of those innocent kids. The kids were not involved in any of this. “.
She also dismissed claims that her toxic relationship with her son may have had an impact on his personality. I got along well with him. He didn’t have my friends and kept to himself. “.
Ramos’ birthday was the previous Monday, according to Reyes, who added: “I had a card and a Snoopy stuffed animal to give to him. Although Reye has insisted she doesn’t know where Ramos shot her mother, she has added that she and her sister will take care of her when she returns to Uvalde. Celia, 66, survived the bullet wound to her forehead.
But it was also found that Ramos had privately messaged a 15-year-old he had met online, telling him he planned to shoot his grandma and then open fire at Robb Elementary School.
