Antonio Ramos, a 27-year-old artist was painting a mural under the Interstate 580 overpass in Oakland, CA when he was shot to death.
The artist was working with a group of other muralists when he reportedly had an argument with an unidentified man. When the confrontation escalated, the man shot Ramos and ran away. The victim was taken to the hospital and later pronounced dead, according to Oakland police. As of Tuesday afternoon, police were still seeking information on the shooter.
Ramos was painting a mural sponsored by theAttitudinal Healing Connection of Oakland (AHC), a nonprofit dedicated to building healthy communities by breaking cycles of violence through arts, creativity and education. Through their Oakland Superheroes Mural Project, AHC pairs professional muralists with local middle school students to design and execute murals inspired by envisioning the students as superheroes.
