Salvador was described by his former classmates as a failed and lonely student who was bullied for being poor and wearing eyeliner.

When referring to him, he was seen as an ’emo’. In addition, his speech problems made him a target of ridicule, according to the Washington Post.

The 18-year-old was a fan of the shooter and combat game Call of Duty.

A neighbor told local news station Newsy that he saw Ramos, who worked at Wendy’s, arguing with his grandmother, claiming he was “mad because he didn’t graduate.”
