A truck driver killed in a “senseless shooting” at Wawa leaves behind a wife and three children, the company he worked for said on Wednesday.
Ramon Ramirez, 31, was driving for A. Duie Pyle and was hired in 2019 to work out of the Hoover Avenue terminal near Airport Road, said Peter Dannecker, the company’s vice president of risk and integrated resources.
Ramirez was well-liked and did a good job; “It’s a tragic loss of a working dad,” Dannecker said.
District Attorney Jim Martin said the victim was pumping gas when the gunman, who had earlier shot at a woman driving on Route 22, began shooting at the Wawa at Route 100 and Schantz Road in Upper Macungie Township.

WHITEHALL, Pa. (AP) Prosecutors say a suspect will face another homicide charge following the death of a second person following a shooting in the parking lot of a Walmart store in eastern Pennsylvania last month that killed a woman.
Jonathan Martinez, 22, of Allentown died at 1:30 a.m. Sunday at Lehigh Valley Hospital, Cedar Crest, the Lehigh County coroner’s office reported Sunday. An autopsy is planned to determine the cause of death, but the coroner’s office ruled the manner of death homicide.
District Attorney Jim Martin said Monday his office will upgrade an attempted homicide charge to homicide when 23-year-old defendant Edward Rosario-Jimenez appears for his preliminary hearing, which is currently scheduled April 23.
Nearly $78,000 of taxes and fees paid by Whitehall Township residents to the tax collector’s office in 2018 and 2019 are unaccounted for, according to the results of a third-party investigation revealed by commissioners at their public meeting Monday night.
