Shortly after midnight on June 21, 2025, two young men were standing outside a business on the 700 block of West Hallmark Avenue in Killeen when an armed person stepped into the parking lot and opened fire. Eighteen-year-old D’Angelo Marquis Ramos, Hispanic/Latino, was struck and transported to Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center and then to Baylor Scott & White; Justice of the Peace Larry Wilkey pronounced him dead at 12:39 p.m. An autopsy was ordered at the Southwest Institute of Forensic Sciences in Dallas.

A 21-year-old man who was also shot survived and was reported in good condition. Witnesses described the shooter as a Black male wearing a mask and dark clothing who fired multiple rounds, then climbed into a dark-colored sedan and fled. The Robbery–Homicide Unit is handling the investigation and detectives asked nearby businesses and residents to check surveillance for the gunman’s path; no arrest, suspect name, or motive has been announced.

Does anyone have surveillance footage or witnessed the vehicle that left the scene that night?
