UPDATE: Allentown man faces criminal homicide and related charges for North Saul Street killing

Allentown police announced this afternoon they have arrested a 39-year-old city man in connection with Monday night's fatal shooting at 803 N. Saul Street.

Rocky Jimenez, of the 200 block of Penn Street, is charged with criminal homicide and four counts of reckless endangerment, because the victim's girlfriend, whom authorities declined to identify, and three children were in the home at the time of the shooting.

Police have not released the name of the 30-year-old male Hispanic victim because authorities have been unable to reach his mother in Puerto Rico.
Jimenez and the victim knew one another, but authorities would not elaborate on their relationship, a motive or the circumstances of the shooting.
Lehigh County District Attorney James Martin said authorities would let the court records speak for themselves. Jimenez has not yet been arraigned.
Police found the victim with a gunshot wound at 8:54 p.m. Monday in the first floor of the home. Jimenez was not in the home at the time of the shooting. Martin said the victim, who was pronounced dead at 2:20 a.m. today at St. Luke's Hospital in Fountain Hill, was shot through the wall.



The man was in his east Allentown apartment with his girlfriend and her three children Monday night when he got a harassing phone call from an ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend.

Angel Ramos-Rodriguez, 30, told the boyfriend he had nothing to do with his partner and wanted to be left alone, according to Caroline Cantre, Ramos-Rodriguez's girlfriend, who was with him in the kitchen of their N. Saul Street apartment when he was on the phone.

About a half-hour later, just before 9 p.m., Ramos-Rodriguez heard a noise coming from the gravel driveway on the side of the home and looked out the kitchen window, Cantre said. Seven bullets came flying, one of them hitting him in the chest. He died several hours later.

Local authorities arrested Rocky G. Jimenez, 39, of 217 Penn St., Allentown, on Tuesday morning and charged him with homicide and four counts of reckless endangerment.

Allentown police say Jimenez was outside when he shot into the home at 803 N. Saul St. and that he knew the victim, but police did not say how.

An arrest affidavit says police interviewed Gladynel Rivera, who said she sat next to Jimenez in the back seat of a car that sped away after the shooting, and Jose Caraballo, the driver. Both Rivera and Caraballo told police that Jimenez said he fired at Ramos-Rodriguez at the window and then the gun jammed.

A witness saw two vehicles speed away and several men running north on N. Saul Street after the shooting, according to the affidavit. Police say they found shell casings, bullets and bullet fragments, a cell phone and a bag of dominoes outside the home.

The affidavit doesn't mention a motive.

Jimenez was arraigned Tuesday night before District Judge Donna R. Butler, who sent him to Lehigh County Prison without bail. Jimenez denied committing the crimes.

The killing was the second in three days. Both ended with Allentown detectives making an arrest within a day.

About noon Tuesday, Cantre, 27, returned to her apartment in a quiet tree-lined alley just off Hanover Avenue and blocks from the Bethlehem border. She said she came back to look for information that would help authorities notify her boyfriend's relatives in Puerto Rico, but planned to leave the place because she couldn't stand to be there anymore.

Still visibly shaken, Cantre spoke to reporters at the front door, describing the chaos from the night before. ''Whoever did this did it without thinking of the consequences, without thinking that kids were in the house,'' she said.

Cantre said her three children -- ages 6, 7 and 8 -- were home and she was with Ramos-Rodriguez when bullets flew through a kitchen window. Neither Cantre nor her children were hurt. Outside, police had marked at least five bullet holes on the siding, next to the shattered kitchen window.

Cantre said she believes jealousy sparked the shooting. During the phone call earlier in the night, she said, Ramos-Rodriguez told his ex-girlfriend's boyfriend he ''had nothing to do with her.'' Later, when Ramos-Rodriguez was shot, he told Cantre to call for help and to tell police ''it was her,'' Cantre said.

Ramos-Rodriguez broke up with the

woman two years ago, shortly before he and Cantre began their relationship, Cantre said. ''He was always with me,'' she said, adding that the other woman ''provoked all of this.''

Lehigh County District Attorney James Martin said even though other people were present when the shooting happened, Jimenez was the only gunman and no one else will be charged. He said there is no evidence any of the others knew what Jimenez was going to do.

Ramos-Rodriguez was taken to St. Luke's Hospital-Fountain Hill, where he was pronounced dead at 2:20 a.m. Tuesday. Chief Deputy Coroner Paul Zondlo said an autopsy is scheduled for today.
