Staff Report
A 52-year-old Reedley man was arrested and jailed in connection with the July 4 shoot- ing of two Reedley men, ages 83 and 56 at a rural residence north of town.
Alfredo Ramirez was jailed on two felony counts of assault with a firearm, according to the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office. His bail was $70,000.
Sheriff’s deputies responded to a shooting call about 9:15 p.m. at a house in the 5600 block of South Crawford Avenue, near Jefferson Av- enue. When they arrived, they discovered that two men had been shot. The men were trans- ported to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno with non-life-threatening wounds.
After speaking with witnesses, the deputies determined that Ramirez was responsible for the shootings. Ramirez lives in a trailer at the
rear of the property.
Deputies and a sheriff’s K-9 dog found
Ramirez in his trailer and made the arrest. A California Highway Patrol helicopter assisted in the search for the suspect.
The shooting victims were listed in seri- ous, but stable, condition after they arrived at CRMC, according to the sheriff’s office. Doctors expected both men to survive their injuries.
The suspect and victims know each other. A motive for the shooting has not been determined and the incident remains under investigation.

Arlie DAy Brooks
September 8, 1930 ~ June 30, 2018
Arlie Day Brooks age 87 passed away gracefully at home on June 30th 2018
Arlie was born on September 8th,
1930. His Father Marvin Brooks was of
English and Welsh descent, his Mother
Alice Stinson was of English and German Dutch descent. She is very likely a direct descendent of Christopher Martin, purveyor for the May ower pilgrimage to Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts.
He grew up in Philip, South Dakota and attended Haakon County and Philip City Schools. After High School he attended Spear sh Teachers College. He completed his bachelors in education and received his teaching credential in 1953. He followed that with a masters degree in physical education at Fresno State in 1960.
His love of the Prairie and the Black Hills of South Dakota have never waned throughout his life. He has 4 living Brothers, and one brother who died at birth.
He met Idellette Ann Ellington (Idy) at a dance at the Spear sh city park bandstand. They were very good dancers but together they were great dancers. They were married on April 3rd 1952 in Spear sh South Dakota. Their love of dancing continued throughout their lives.
Arlie received his Teaching credential and accepted a teaching position in California in 1953. Heidi and Arlie lived in Kingsburg, Selma, Coalinga, and then moved to Reedley in 1963. During all of this time until his retirement in 1992 he taught and coached. Arlie nished his coaching career at Reedley College. He was head coach in basketball and golf at Reedley College. Other sports he coached included, swimming, football, badminton, handball, racquetball, track, and more. He had very competitive teams. Many of his athletes went on to excel in many arenas.
One notable anecdote is when he was coaching in Selma, his point guard was Bobby Cox (of Atlanta Braves fame) and he played Clovis High and their point guard was Daryle Lamonica. (Raiders Lamonica Stadium) a fun memory for dad.
Dad played great golf and tennis, he loved laughter music and dancing. Heidi and Arlie went dancing every Friday night! They shared one amazing romance for 66 &1/2 years. Their love of their family was the foundation that kept our family so close.
Because Heidi and Arlie both taught, the family spent many summers in South Dakota, working on the family ranch, enjoying time in Spear sh and Philip. Such wonderful memories.
Arlie is survived by his Sons Michael(spouse Jill), Kelly(spouse Connie), Daniel, and daughters Peggy McKellar(Spouse Kent), and Patricia Hixson(spouse Brad). Grandchildren: Ryan Brooks, Robyn Klemm, Allyson Klein, Jennifer Dressel, Jamison McKellar, Chase Hixson, Sean Hixson, and Matthew Hixson.

Siblings Darrel Brooks, George Brooks, Dale Brooks, and Gary Brooks, their wives, Marilyn, Deanna, and Ellen. His Brother in Law Edward “Duke” Ellington, and Sister in Law Eloise Harback and her husband Ken.
