Tragic Oakland Shooting
Mother of Eight Killed in Broad Daylight
Captured on Surveillance Footage
A devastating incident in Oakland has left a community in shock after a mother of eight was fatally shot in a brazen daylight attack, all caught on camera.
Surveillance footage reveals the disturbing events of August 7, which unfolded when Maria Ramos arrived at the scene in an SUV, confronting a group of teenagers suspected of selling cannabis vape pens to one of her children.
The video shows Ramos jumping out of the passenger side of the SUV and deploying pepper spray at the alleged drug dealers in the backseat of their vehicle. Two of the dealers then exit their car, with one quickly returning to the front passenger seat and firing a gunshot at Ramos.
The other armed teenager then opens fire at Ramos as she attempts to flee, striking her with at least one bullet, although the exact moment is not visible on film.
Ramos’ relative, who was also in the SUV, quickly drove away to escape the chaos but returned shortly after the suspects fled in their vehicle, only to find Ramos lying lifeless on the ground.
According to the relative, Ramos had confronted the dealers to demand they stop coming to their house to sell vape pens to her children. The authorities have since apprehended two suspects, including the shooter, in connection with the tragic incident.
