Felony charges of aggravated assault with extreme indifference and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon were withdrawn at a preliminary hearing last week for a Bucks County man accused of shooting at the feet of a victim 12 times and then headbutting them in an incident in December outside Boca Del Mar restaurant in the 202 Marketplace in Montgomery Township.
Biliver Fernando Ramos, 24, of Buckingham Township, waived all remaining charges of felony carrying a firearm with without a license and misdemeanor charges of possessing an instrument of crime and two counts of simple assault to Montgomery County Common Pleas Court.
Original coverage of the incident reported that Montgomery County dispatch traffic said there was someone shooting from a grey Dodge Ram, stating that “multiple [were] shots fired” and that the caller said suspect(s) seemed to be “shooting at random people.”
According to dispatch, the caller said they were hiding in place, but that the vehicle was still on location, near Boca Del Mar within the shopping complex. Police were able to obtain a description of the pickup truck and a license plate, with Pennsylvania tags displayed.
Montgomery Township Police Lieutenant Gerry Dougherty said in December that the matter was under investigation, and that there is no threat to public safety.
"There is no danger to the public," said Dougherty in December. "The incident is under investigation, and we have identified the individuals involved."
On Dec. 8, at 2 a.m., police responded to the restaurant for a report of a shooting. Upon arrival, police discovered an assault occurred, with Ramos allegedly shooting a gun 12 times at the feet of a victim, and then assaulting the victim by headbutting them twice.
The victim suffered injuries to the head and was treated at a local hospital, police said.
Montgomery Township detectives began an investigation, which included several search warrants and interviews with witnesses, police said.
The investigation led authorities to Ramos, and on Wednesday morning, investigators executed a search warrant on his home, according to police.
During the search, a gun suspected to have been used in the crime was recovered, police said.
Buckingham Township Police and the Central Bucks Special Response Team assisted in the investigation.
Ramos is free on $50,000 unsecured bail and will be arraigned in county court in March.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
