William Ramirez, 22, a Latino man, was shot in the head at 8426 South Long Beach Blvd. in South Gate and died at 10:15 p.m. Friday, March 2.

(This case is mentioned above in reference to the unrelated killing of Antoino Beabraut.) Detectives said Ramirez and a companion were in driving in a car when suspects in a green Dodge Intrepid attacked them, shooting into their car and striking Ramirez. Neither Ramirez nor his companion were gang members: Detectives say they don’t know why their attackers took offense, and set upon them. Ramirez was a construction worker who had only been in the country for a couple of years, said Sheriff’s Sgt. Todd Anderson. Anyone with information, including anonymous tips, is asked to call investigators at (323)890-5500.
