Franklin road rage, shots fired, Milwaukee woman charged: 'I will shoot you'
FRANKLIN, Wis. - Eunice Moreno Ramos, 23, faces multiple charges after prosecutors say she drove recklessly and pointed a gun at three other drivers in Franklin and Oak Creek, shooting at one of them.
The shooting happened on the morning of May 1 near Loomis and Ryan in Franklin. The victim said he was going west on Loomis in his white minivan when he saw a silver Kia Sorento being driven recklessly. He said the Kia was "attempting to run him off the road." He said he tried to speed away, and the Kia followed him, pulling up next to his van. That's when prosecutors say Moreno Ramos, the driver, fired one shot at the man, which entered his van through the window and exited through his windshield. He wasn't hit but was cut by glass fragments.
A spent casing was found at the scene of the shooting, and a criminal complaint says both vehicles, the minivan and the Sorento, were seen in surveillance from the nearby Irish Cottage.

Two days later, on the morning of May 3, a driver reported a Kia Sorento being driven recklessly; the driver swerving and cutting off other drivers. This driver said he was cut off near 13th and Ryan in Oak Creek, and he "told the driver to learn how to drive." He said there was only one person in the Sorento, and he identified the driver as Moreno Ramos via a photo array, prosecutors say, and he said she pointed a gun at him. He took a picture of the license plate number on the Sorento.
Another driver said he was on 13th between Drexel and Rawson in Oak Creek when the Sorento was speeding and trying to pass him. According to the complaint, he said the driver kept trying to position the Sorento next to his car. He said the driver pointed a handgun at him as he tried to turn away from the Sorento. Initially, he sped away "as fast as he could" but decided he should try to get a picture of the vehicle. He was able to get the license plate number and continued following the Sorento. Eventually, prosecutors say Moreno Ramos got out of the Sorento and pulled the handgun out of her purse, telling the man, "I will shoot you." The man said he backed off at that point and called the police.
