Adrian Brambila Ramos was 19 when he was killed on April 28, 2010, in Anaheim, California. Known professionally as El Magnifico, he had been walking home from a Fullerton College class when three assailants approached him in what is described as a robbery attempt. Ramos was shot about a mile from his home; the attackers took his wallet and left him fatally wounded on the street.

Authorities arrested three suspects shortly after the shooting: 20-year-old Aquiles Sanchez, 20-year-old Edgar Raul Salgado, and a 15-year-old minor. All three were taken into custody on suspicion of homicide and were charged in connection with Ramos’s death. The killing received wide attention because Ramos had performed on television and at local venues and was regarded as a rising talent.

Family vigils were held at their home and at the shooting site as the community rallied around the family. If anyone saw Ramos that evening or has information about the attack, please come forward.
