Uploaded On:Friday 16th of August 2024

Surveillance footage ccaptures the shooting death of a mother of eight in East Oakland who apparently confronted a carload of teens she suspected of selling marijuana vape pens to one of her children.

Maria Ramos, 33, was fatally shot near the intersection of Hilton Street and Bancroft Avenue around 2:20 p.m. on Aug. 7.

The incident began when Ramos, visiting from Los Angeles, and her mother Blanca Velasco saw the Toyota near Velsaco’s home and suspected the occupants of selling marijuana vape pens to one of Ramos’ children.

Ramos had just gotten out of her mother’s Toyota RAV4 and apparently released pepper spray into the back seat of a Toyota carrying the suspects, video shows. A witness and a source close to the investigation also corroborate that.

A 16-year-old boy then got out of the Toyota and opened fire, killing Ramos.

Her mother, who drove off after having a gun pointed at her, came back and found her daughter motionless.

The alleged shooter was arrested and is being held at Alameda County Juvenile Hall. His name was withheld because of his age.

Isaiah Gomez, 19, the alleged driver, was charged by Alameda County prosecutors with being an accessory in the case.
