Javier Ramos, a 46-year-old Hispanic rideshare driver from Chicago, was fatally shot during a carjacking on March 23, 2021. The incident happened about 2:30 a.m. in the 3700 block of West Douglas Boulevard in the North Lawndale neighborhood, after Ramos had dropped off a passenger. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and later died; the Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide. The carjacker fled in Ramos’ vehicle.

Ramos’ family and friends remembered him as a devoted father to his 9-year-old daughter and as someone who had recovered previously from a brain aneurysm. In June 2021 federal authorities charged 18-year-old Edmond Harris with carjacking and murder; the indictment alleges Harris brandished a firearm and fatally shot Ramos and includes counts for carjacking, discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, and causing death through the use of a firearm during a crime of violence.

Did anyone in North Lawndale that night see the vehicle that fled the scene or have information about the carjacking?
