HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- The mother of a young man killed at an apartment complex in Henrico's West End in October is hoping someone will come forward with a tip that could lead police to his killer.
Twenty-year-old Angelo Barry Ramirez was shot to death at the Kings Crossings Apartments in the 700 block of Queens Crosse Court around 10 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024, according to police.
"He was trying to go to HVAC school, but my mom got sick and that delayed him a little bit," his mother told Jon Burkett.
The Carver College and Career Academy graduate had recently moved to the West End with his mother.
Ramirez's mother, who spoke with Burkett, but asked him not to publish her name, remembered her son as a homebody and said he did not venture far from home on the morning of his murder.
But hours before her son stepped outside, she said he did exhibit strange behavior.
"I was sleeping, and I went to use the bathroom and he just held his head like that," she recalled. "I don't know if he was afraid of somebody or something, but that's the only thing that was out of the blue."
Later that Sunday morning Ramirez's body was discovered after he walked to the fence line of a neighboring community.
More than three months have passed since his death, and frustrations continue to mount for family members. They wonder how no one in the quiet community noticed anything or was able to provide a description of the shooter.
"Basically, nothing really on the case," his mother said.
