The Killeen Police Department is investigating a fatal shooting that left one man dead and another injured early Saturday morning, June 21.
At approximately 12:46 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 700 block of West Hallmark Avenue in reference to a reported shooting. Upon arrival, they located two male victims suffering from gunshot wounds. Killeen Fire Department EMS responded and transported the victims to nearby hospitals.
A 21-year-old male victim was taken to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center and is in good condition. The second victim, identified as 18-year-old D’Angelo Marquis Ramos, was initially transported to Carl R.

An autopsy was ordered at the Southwest Institute of Forensic Sciences in Dallas.
According to preliminary findings, the victims were standing outside a business talking with two other men when a masked suspect approached on foot and opened fire. The suspect, described as a Black male wearing all dark clothing and a mask, fled the scene in a dark-colored sedan.
