Sleyter Ramirez-Jimenez, 22, of San Leandro, was killed in a drive-by shooting in Oakland on January 19, 2019. The shooting happened about 11:55 p.m. outside a residence on the 2000 block of 22nd Avenue, where Ramirez-Jimenez had been attending a baptism party. Shots were fired from a passing vehicle, and Ramirez-Jimenez was fatally wounded amid a large gathering of guests.

Investigators identified two suspects connected to the vehicle involved: an 18-year-old, Walter Calmo-Perez, who was described as the shooter, and a 31-year-old, Pablo Carrillo, who was identified as the driver. Calmo-Perez was found shortly after the incident in possession of methamphetamine and a loaded, stolen firearm. Both men were arrested and charged with murder. Witness statements and surveillance footage were cited as evidence linking them to the crime.

The death of Ramirez-Jimenez shocked the community and his family. If anyone attended that gathering or has information about the shooting, contact investigators with what was seen or recorded that night.
