A 27-year-old Richmond resident who was shot in the head in what appears to have been an unprovoked attack on a Richmond street on Jan. 4 died from his injuries Saturday, the Contra Costa County Coroner reported Tuesday.

Victor Ramirez, who had recently moved to Richmond from El Salvador, was walking in the 2100 block of Roosevelt Avenue around 10:30 a.m. when two suspects grabbed him in a headlock as they passed by, according to police.

One of the suspects, a boy believed to be 15 or 16 years old, then shot Ramirez in the head, police reported.Richmond police Sgt. Allwyn Brown said the shooting suspect is described as black, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds. He had a short Afro hairstyle and was clean-shaven. He was last seen wearing a black ball cap, a black jacket with some sort of brown pattern on the front and blue jeans.

He was armed with a black revolver with brown wooden handgrips.

The shooting suspect's accomplice is described as a black man about 18 years old standing between 6 feet and 6 feet, 3 inches tall and with a thin build. He was last seen wearing a white ball cap, a dark colored jacket and blue jeans, Brown said.

Both suspects ran from the scene on foot up 21st Street from Roosevelt Avenue, according to Brown.
