On the morning of October 26, 2024, 23-year-old Salvador Ramirez was shot while working at a home under construction on Cascade Place SW in Atlanta’s West End. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene. Ramirez lived in Lawrenceville and was working in the basement at the time; his father, Oscar Guevara, described him as hardworking and dedicated and said the family had worried about the safety risks tied to the expensive tools Salvador used.

Homicide investigators opened a full investigation into the killing, looking into motive and whether the assailant or assailants knew Ramirez. By mid-January 2025, a suspect had been identified but no arrest had been announced and the suspect was not in custody. The family and community continue to seek answers about what happened.

If anyone has information about Salvador, his work that day, or the events on Cascade Place SW, please come forward.
