Francisca Martinez Ramirez, 38, was shot to death on January 1, 2018, at her home on Crittenden Street in East Oakland. The shooting occurred in the early hours of New Year’s Day after a dispute between Francisca and her husband, Enrique Sandoval, then 44. The couple had been together at least 12 years and had no children.

After the shooting Enrique Sandoval, also known as Anastacio Sandoval Marin, called his brother and confessed to shooting his wife; the brother then alerted authorities. Police found Enrique attempting to leave the residence with firearms and ammunition that matched casings recovered inside the home. Francisca was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers recovered the gun believed to have been used, and Enrique was arrested and charged with murder. Two pounds of suspected cocaine were also found in his possession, though no drug charges were filed; he was held without bail at Santa Rita Jail and scheduled to return to court.

What details do readers remember about Francisca, the neighborhood on Crittenden Street, or the events of that New Year’s morning that could help the case?
