Man charged in deadly Fontana home-invasion robbery
A man accused in a deadly home-invasion robbery pleased not guilty this afternoon to two counts of murder and three other felonies.
Lee Allen Johnson, 25, was allegedly one of four men who went to Robert Ramirez's Fontana home Oct. 30 intending to tie up Ramirez and his family and take large amounts of cash and cocaine they believed was there.
But when Johnson and his alleged co-conspirators entered the house, Ramirez opened fire, shooting and killing one of the robbers -- Lucio Chavez Jimenez, 37, of Moreno Valley, according to authorities.
Ramirez, 36, was killed when the robbers returned fire, authorities said.
Johnson, from the Riverside area, was charged today with two counts of murder, as well as burglary, attempted robbery, and assault with a deadly weapon.
Johnson remains jailed at West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.
A judge declined to set bail today in Fontana Superior Court because of the severity of the charges.
Johnson is next due in court Nov. 24 for a bail hearing.
One of the other alleged robbers -- Roberto Carlos Tirad Osuna, 26, of Perris -- has been charged but has not appeared in court yet because he is recovering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Sounds like no humans involved. let them all die.
Really? Your comment simply shows what an ignorant coward you are. Keep hiding behind your computer screen- although even that won't hide your stupidity
These dudes are real bitches. Robert was my doubleplay tandem on the softball team. I hope that other dude who got shot up never walks again and gets raped on a daily basis in prison.
