Tragedy Strikes Pasadena: Seeking Answers and Justice The calm of a Monday night in Pasadena was shattered by a horrifying incident that left one man dead and a teenage boy wounded in a shooting at an apartment complex on West Hammond Street. The Pasadena Police Department responded to the incident after receiving alerts from the ShotSpotter gunshot detector system and multiple calls from concerned neighbors. At approximately 7:45 p.m., the police arrived at the scene to find 26-year-old Cecilio Hernandez Ramirez Jr. of Pasadena, gravely injured. He had been shot multiple times and was discovered unresponsive in the parking lot of the apartment complex. Immediate medical attention was provided, and he was rushed to a local hospital. Tragically, despite efforts to save his life, Ramirez was pronounced dead at the hospital. As officers were establishing a crime scene and assessing the situation, they received another distressing revelation. A juvenile male, the second victim of the shooting, arrived at the same hospital via private transportation. Thankfully, his gunshot wound was determined to be non-life-threatening.
