One of the men who allegedly attacked and beat DeAndre Harris is Alex Michael Ramos (Michael A. Ramos on Facebook), who identifies as Puerto Rican.
Tweets from @afainatl Atlanta Antifascists documented pictures and video from Ramos’ Facebook account before it was taken down showing him at the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Then, on Tuesday, Shaun King went on Facebook to post this message:
Dear Michael A. Ramos, We caught you. Your Facebook friends reported you to me. You are guilty of felony assault against Deandre Harris. We downloaded all of the content off of your Facebook page before you deleted it – including your video and comments bragging about this assault. ARREST THIS MAN!
— DeAndre Harris says police were indifferent to Charlottesville attack —
A video was also posted by Atlanta Antifascists showing Ramos saying that he was not racist because he is “Spanish” and “Puerto Rican,” saying, “I’m not even f*****g white,” in his argument. The video also shows him bragging about the assault against Harris.
While Ramos has since taken down his Facebook account, before it was deleted, Ramos was seen wearing a “Make America Great Again” baseball cap and also posted on his account to brag about the attack.
