Ramiro Reyes, 22, was fatally shot in Oakland on September 2, 2024. The early-morning attack happened on the 2600 block of 74th Avenue while Reyes sat in a vehicle with a friend, Nayeli Mendoza. According to Mendoza, three people approached and began shooting; she left the car to plead with them and was struck in the head. Reyes told her to get back in the vehicle and then attempted to flee; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Reyes lived in Redwood City and worked in construction. He was the father of a two-year-old daughter. His family described him as joyful and devoted; they held a vigil at the shooting site and started a GoFundMe to help with funeral costs and support his child. The Oakland Police Department opened an investigation and arrested 23-year-old Salvador Fagoa-Garios, who has been charged with murder. No motive has been publicly disclosed.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about what happened that morning, please share it with investigators.
