A little after 1:30 AM on September 8, 2024, Santa Monica Police Department officers responded to the 1900 block of Ocean Avenue for an assault with a deadly weapon that just occurred. The caller, a friend of the victim, reported that a male suspect shot the victim several times and fled the location. Officers were on scene within minutes of the 911 call and detained several individuals as they attempted to leave. Other officers provided first aid to the 24-year-old victim until paramedics could arrive. The victim, who sustained several gunshot wounds, was transported to a local hospital for treatment. He is currently in serious but stable condition.
One of those detained, 19-year-old Isaac Santiago Ramos of Van Nuys, was positively identified as the shooter. He was in possession of a concealed handgun. Witnesses told officers that Ramos and four other young male subjects approached two of the victim’s friends while they were sitting in the 2000 block of the beach and an argument ensued. Ramos pulled out a handgun and the victim attempted to intervene. Ramos shot the victim several times before fleeing eastbound.
