David Ramos was 22 when he was killed in a shooting on January 7, 2007, at the Economy Inn in the San Ysidro neighborhood of San Diego. Ramos and two companions were inside a second-floor motel room when someone knocked; as one person looked through the peephole the person outside began firing into the room. Ramos was struck and died soon after; another man hit in the shooting fled to Tijuana for medical treatment.

Investigators interviewed people who were at the scene, including one of the survivors, but have been unable to establish a motive. Police described the suspect as a Hispanic male. Detectives have pursued leads including possible gang-related motives, and say witness cooperation has been limited.

If anyone was staying at the Economy Inn that night or has information about who was knocking and firing on the second-floor room, please come forward.
