Jose Juan Ramos, a 43-year-old Latino man, was fatally shot in Exposition Park in South Los Angeles on December 17, 2017. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene in the early morning hours. Reports say investigators were unsure whether the shooter approached on foot or from a vehicle, and the area was known for illegal activity, complicating the probe.

Ramos had served 13 years in prison for first-degree robbery and, after his release, embraced Christianity and reconnected with his community while trying to turn his life around. The LAPD opened a homicide investigation and offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the shooter’s arrest. The case remained unsolved at the time of the last update and his family mourned the loss while pushing for answers.

If anyone has information about what happened that night in Exposition Park, please come forward.
