Nearly two months ago, artist Antonio Ramos was shot and killed while painting a mural promoting non-violence in Oakland. On Nov. 25, it was revealed that the gun used by his killer had been stolen from a U.S. agent of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Ramos was affiliated with the Attitudinal Healing Connection, a program designed to educate and encourage creativity in at-risk youth in Oakland. The mural he was working on when he was shot was a collaboration between many street artists and schoolchildren who helped design the murals, according to CBS. The project was called the Superheroes Mural Project.
