Brian Ramirez was 20 when he was fatally shot in Van Nuys in the early hours of April 6, 2014. He and a friend were dropped off on the 6700 block of Kester Avenue around 1:45 a.m. and walked north toward the entrance of an underground parking garage. Ramirez was shot at the mouth of the garage, ran inside, collapsed, and was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:15 a.m. An autopsy confirmed the cause of death as a gunshot wound.

Detectives say a group of people was present near the garage but none stayed to speak with police. It remains unclear whether the shooter was on foot or in a vehicle, and whether Ramirez was the intended target. Van Nuys Homicide Detectives continue to investigate but no arrests have been announced.

If anyone has information about what happened that night, contact the detectives or Crime Stoppers with a tip.
