Alejandro Ramirez, 35, was shot and killed on June 21, 2024, during a late-evening altercation at a residence in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas. Emergency responders were called after reports of gunfire; Ramirez was transported to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Police say the shooting followed a dispute between Ramirez and several people known to him and that he was targeted in what appeared to be a personal attack. Witnesses described a confrontation that escalated quickly.

Dallas police identified several persons of interest and arrested 28-year-old Javier Martinez within days after a brief standoff in a nearby neighborhood. Authorities believe Martinez fired the fatal shot, though it is unclear whether others were involved or whether the killing was premeditated or a heat-of-the-moment act. No additional arrests have been announced and the investigation is ongoing.

If anyone in Oak Cliff knew Alejandro or has information about the dispute or the events that night, please come forward to assist the investigation.
