This is the first of two murder charges for Austin police officer Christopher Taylor. He was also indicted for murder and deadly conduct in the shooting death of Dr. Mauris DeSilva.

in the parking lot of a southeast Austin apartment complex on Pleasant Valley Road.

It started in April 2020 when Austin police responded to a call about two people doing illegal drugs and producing meth in a car. The caller indicated that the man had a gun, but no weapon was ever found at the scene. Video shows Ramos lifting his shirt and circling around himself to show that he didn’t have a gun and can be heard saying "I don't got no f***ing guns y'all."

An officer shot Ramos with less lethal rounds while his hands were in the air. Ramos tried to flee in his vehicle and Officer Taylor opened fire, shooting him in the back of the head, and killing him.
