Sister of Texas school shooter Salvador Ramos is serving in US Navy and came home to comfort grandma

The Uvalde school mass shooter has an older sister who is currently serving in the United States Navy, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.

Marisabelle Ramos, 21, is three years older than her dead brother Salvador, who was responsible for Tuesday’s massacre at Robb Elementary School.

‘My granddaughter Marisabelle is in the Navy and currently stationed in San Diego, California’ her grandfather, Rolando Reyes, exclusively told DailyMail.com.

Reyes said Marisabelle rushed back to San Antonio to be with her grandmother Celia after receiving the tragic news.

‘She’s with her grandmother in the hospital and staying in San Antonio for the time being.’ 

A GoFundMe set up to raise funds for Celia, who was shot in the head by Salvador but survived, has so-far raised just $230 of its $30,000 target.

Celia is in a San Antonio hospital, after being shot in the face by her grandson, Marisabelle’s 18-year-old brother Salvador, just before he gunned down 19 children and two teachers at the Robb Elementary School.

Marisabelle is believed to have graduated from Crossroads Academy High School in Uvalde, TX in 2020. 

She also attended Uvalde High School for her freshman and sophomore years in 2017 and 2018 while living with her Celia and other family members at their Diaz Street home.

The high school is on an alternative campus in the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District. 

According to their Facebook page, Crossroads Academy High School is built around an ethic of care for the whole student in order to support the academic needs of at-risk students toward the completion of a High School Diploma.

Marisabelle’s father Salvador Ramos – who has a lengthy criminal record – told The Daily Beast, that he is currently estranged from his daughter, because she was upset with him for not spending enough time with the family. He also told them she had joined the Navy and is no longer living at home.

He said: ‘My daughter, I guess, changed her life, she went to the Navy. I wish my son would have gone and changed his life.’

Authorities have said for the past several months Ramos discussed buying a gun and shooting up a school. 

Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw said on Friday, last September Ramos asked his sister to buy him a gun, ‘she flatly refused,’ he said.

Rolando Reyes said: ‘My wife’s condition is day-to-day. We are praying for her.’

Celia’s daughter Natalie has set up a GofundMe account for her mother.

Natalie wrote that what happened on May 24 ‘has my family shaken to the core, especially my mom. We give our condolences to all the families that lost a loved one that day as my children and I have lost my little cousin Layla on my dad’s side of the family too and my nephew on my mom’s side. I speak for my children and I when I say we’ve been hit from all sides.’

She added that Celia has had four major surgeries since entering the hospital and has more to come and may not be home for several months.   

‘I’m asking wholeheartedly to please help my mom. Bills will be piling up from home and from the hospital. Any donations are greatly appreciated.’

So far, only $350 out of a requested $30,000.00 has been donated.

In comparison the GoFundMe account for Joe and Irma Garcia the Robb Elementary School teacher who was killed in the massacre and her husband who died of a heart attack days later has raided more than $2.5 million dollars, well surpassing their goal of $10,000.

Ramos slaughtered at least 19 innocent children in the second deadliest school shooting in American history in Uvalde, Texas before being shot dead in a shootout with a border patrol officer. 

Police say Ramos said bought two AR-15 assault rifles for his 18th birthday days before the shooting, bragged about them on social media and suggested he would commit an atrocity before the deadly attack.
