The shooting happened in the parking lot of Three Stars Mini Mart at North Main and 11th streets while Ramsey sat in the passenger seat of a vehicle. An argument with Malik Eric Johnson, 21, escalated and Johnson shot Ramsey once in the chest. The driver took Ramsey to Novant Health Rowan Medical Center, where he later died.

During later proceedings Johnson pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of a weapon on prison premises, and robbery with a dangerous weapon, and received a 28 to 35 year sentence.
