For all those that are still reading this article up tp this day, the reason Ramon was shot was because some gang members thought he snitched on them. Im not exactly sure what gang or click though. He had been cought up and was arrested. Before we went to the station the gangsters told him that he better not say anything to the cops, and of course he didn't. After he got out, the gang had already been arrested and they accused Ramon of snitching on them. They ended up going after him and killed him. They tried hiding him in one of their homes for a while, but because they had heat on them already, they just dumped him off in the hills.Ramon, WE ALL MISS YOU

OH!!! and something else... RAMON WAS NOT A GANGSTER! gangster wear baggy jeans with crisp white tees. Ramon would wear combat boots, super tight torn skinny jeans and sleeveless faded band t shirts. He was never involved in any type of gang activity what so ever. And for all of those who know Ramon, you know he would never hurt "anyone".

He did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! He didn't deserve what they did to him. He wasn't into anything. He was just a teenager! No one can say he wasn't a troublemaker but what teenager isn't these days?? He was misunderstood but he was one of the sweetest, funniest and caring boys I ever met. He looked like the kind of person no one would mess with by the way he dressed and looked with his tight ripped jeans, torn sleeveless Ramones t-shirts and shaved head but once you would get to know him he was a true kid with a soft heart and big dreams. He even told me he wanted to have a family of his own.. I clearly remember the night I found out what had happened to him. My heart shattered into a million pieces and I cried myself to sleep hoping it was just a horrible nightmare.. but it wasn't.. It had happened and he was gone just like that.. He was like a big brother to me and still is.. I will never forget you Ramon.. and your funny spanish accent ♥ May You Rest In Peace.. - With Much Love, Your "Button Nosed" Friend
