Bernardo Bernie Ramires was 19 and a resident of Oceanside, California, when he was shot and killed on June 5, 2017. Neighbors reported hearing gunfire near Calle Estrella and Calle Mariposa in the early morning. Officers who responded found Ramires with a gunshot wound to the stomach; he was pronounced dead at the scene after medical attention.

The investigation led to the arrest of 21-year-old Anthony Williams on August 18, 2017; Williams was booked on suspicion of murder and charged in connection with the shooting. Williams initially gave a false name to officers when taken into custody for unrelated reasons. Police also arrested two other people around the same time in connection with unrelated murders as part of a broader effort to address violent incidents in Oceanside. The motive in Ramires’ killing has not been reported.

If anyone knew Bernardo Ramires or has information about the shooting near Calle Estrella and Calle Mariposa on June 5, 2017, please come forward.
