Ramon Sanchez was 20 when he was shot and killed on November 6, 2011, near O Street and Lakme Avenue in Wilmington, Los Angeles. Officers were called to the scene about 1 a.m. after reports of an assault with a deadly weapon; Sanchez was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Harbor Division investigated but the assailant and the motive remained unknown. Detectives, including Detective Julie Scruggs, urged anyone with information to come forward and provided numbers for anonymous tips. Fear of retaliation among some residents reportedly limited cooperative leads and hindered the inquiry.

The case remains unsolved and has been periodically revisited by investigators. If anyone knew Ramon, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help identify the shooter, please contact the Harbor Division or submit an anonymous tip.
