\nPolice have identified the suspects in the groom’s brutal killing as brothers Rony Aristides Castaneda Ramirez, 28, and 19-year-old Josue Daniel Castaneda Ramirez<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
Friends and family members are mourning the death of a 30-year-old \nCalifornia man who was killed at his wedding reception just hours after \nhe\u00a0exchanged\u00a0wedding vows with his wife.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was reported that\u00a0two uninvited brothers came to the newlyweds\u2019 \nreception over the weekend and beat the groom to death with baseball \nbats.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Groom, Joe Melgoza, 30, suffered from a blunt-force trauma to the head after he was attacked across the street from the reception venue in Chino, California, at around 2.20am on Sunday. \u00a0He was rushed to Chino Valley Medical Center, where he died.<\/p>\n
Police have identified the suspects in the groom\u2019s brutal killing as brothers Rony Aristides Castaneda Ramirez, 28, and 19-year-old Josue Daniel Castaneda Ramirez.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to the Chino Police Department, the siblings did not know \nMelgoza, but lived not far from the home of his wife\u2019s family in the \n13200 block of 17th Street where the wedding reception was being held, \nand showed up at the celebration uninvited, reported KTLA5.<\/p>\n
The wedding crashers allegedly got into a fight with some of the \nguests and were asked to leave, which they did, only to return a short \ntime later armed with baseball bats, according to Melgoza\u2019s brother Andy \n Velasquez.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Velasquez told NBC Los Angeles through sobs that his brother tried to \n confront the \u2018cowards,\u2019 who then pulled him away and killed him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My brother did not deserve to die like that, he was a good man, he \nwas a solid man,\u2019 Velasquez said, while comforted by his two surviving \nbrothers and a sister. \u2018My brother was protecting his family. They came \nand they murdered him.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Joe Melgoza is survived by his wife of just a few hours, Esther Bustamante Melgoza, and his 11-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n
