Roger Reyes Ramirez was a 21-year-old Latino man who was shot to death in Maywood, California, in the early hours of February 18, 2019. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner recorded the death as a gunshot fatality; reports say he was shot multiple times and died despite efforts to save him.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department led the investigation. Early accounts mentioned a possible gang-related motive, but investigators had not found conclusive evidence to support that theory. Detectives developed several persons of interest and potential suspects, but no immediate arrests were reported and the case remained open amid limited eyewitness accounts and sparse physical evidence.

Family and community members held vigils and urged anyone with information to come forward as detectives continued to follow tips and re-examine leads. If anyone knew Roger or has information about what happened that night in Maywood, please share what you know.
