On August 17, 2024, in Fort Worth, Texas, 22-year-old Jacob Ramirez and his father, 41-year-old Fermin Ramirez, were shot and killed outside their home on Ross Avenue at about 1:50 a.m. The pair had returned from a bar with friends; an acquaintance arrived with 31-year-old Cameron Cummins, whom the Ramirezes did not know. An argument developed after Cummins and others reportedly flirted with and spoke disrespectfully to a female guest. Fermin and Jacob asked the group to leave and, despite repeated requests, they stayed.

Surveillance footage shows Jacob briefly going back into the house and returning with a handgun held behind his back, though he did not brandish it. As Fermin raised his hands in an apparent attempt to de-escalate, Cummins drew a pistol and opened fire, fatally wounding both men. Cummins fled in a vehicle driven by an associate but was later arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder. The community has organized fundraisers and memorials for the hardworking father and son.

Does anyone have information about the gathering that night or knew the Ramirezes?
