The Orlando Sentinel reported that Almodovar’s mother, Rosalie Ramos, was awakened by her cell phone in the early hours of June 12. A frantic woman said that she needed to “come quick.” “You need to be here.” Ramos quickly got dressed and raced to Pulse nightclub in Orlando.
Ramos told the paper, “I was hoping maybe [he was shot in] the hand or the leg. You can survive [a gunshot to] the leg.” Heartbreakingly, that wasn’t the case and Almodovar died at the hospital. She described him as being happy with a big heart, and said he was always changing hairstyles…he dyed his hair before heading out June 11.
