SUMNER COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities investigating a fatal-officer involved shooting have identified the suspect who died as 25-year-old Rosendo Enrique Ravero, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. He was wanted in connection with allegedly shooting his ex-girlfriend's 70-year-old grandmother at her place of business on March 17, in Miami, Florida, according to Detective Angel Rodriguez with Miami-Dade County Police.
Just after 12:30p.m. March 24, officers responded to the robbery at Impact Bank, 206 East Harvey in Wellington.
Bank officials reported a man, later identified as Ravero, entered the bank wearing a dark jacket with light-colored pants and a surgical mask. He handed a note to a bank employee demanding money. The suspect left the bank with an undetermined amount of cash.
Bank employees were able to obtain a description of Ravero's vehicle and shared it with law enforcement. The Kansas Turnpike Authority notified the Oklahoma Highway Patrol that the suspect was southbound on Interstate 35.
A Port of Entry officer saw a vehicle enter Oklahoma that matched the description of the robbery suspect’s vehicle.
Oklahoma State Troopers began a pursuit and gunfire was exchanged. The pursuit ended when the Ravero fled his vehicle on foot in a wooded area off Interstate 35 and Highway 412. When Ravero attempted to fire at troopers again, he was shot and killed. No troopers were injured.
The OHP also reported the bomb squad was called to the scene because Ravero claimed to have a bomb in his vehicle.
