Joseph Ramos, 20, was killed in Providence in the early morning hours of Monday, May 11, 2026. Ramos was riding a three-wheeled motorcycle in the North End when police found him shortly after 2:15 a.m. at the intersection of Swift Street and Silver Spring Street with at least one gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to Rhode Island Hospital and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Investigators say Ramos had attended a large gathering earlier that evening where a disturbance may have occurred and that he was believed to have been followed from that event. Police described the shooting as targeted rather than random. Within days authorities arrested 18-year-old Charles Ortiz of Cranston and charged him with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, drive-by shooting, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence; detectives said the probe remained active and that they were still seeking the person who actually fired the weapon.

If anyone was at the gathering or saw activity near Swift and Silver Spring streets that night, can you help investigators fill in the timeline?
