Two people accused of murder in drive-by shooting that took the life of a Hayward teenager.

In Oakland, two men have been accused of a heinous crime – murder. It all began with a drive-by shooting that claimed the life of an 18-year-old boy. According to court records, Daniel Ramos, 46, and Angel Pimentil, 26, have been charged with murder, shooting at an occupied motor vehicle, and shooting from an occupied motor vehicle. Ramos, who is believed to be the shooter, also faces a gun enhancement charge for firing the fatal shot.

The victim, Angel Enciso Ayala, was driving on Pompano Avenue in Hayward when the suspects drove by in their own vehicle. In a cruel twist of fate, Ramos opened fire at that exact moment, hitting Ayala in the neck. He tragically succumbed to his injuries seven hours later. The impact of the bullet on his brain stem proved to be fatal. Ayala lost control of his car and crashed on Havana Avenue.

The authorities quickly identified Ramos as the prime suspect since the Chevrolet Suburban used in the drive-by was registered under his name. Further investigation revealed that Pimentil may have aided and abetted Ramos. Police discovered that Pimentil's cellphone was connected to the Chevrolet's Bluetooth system before, during, and after the murder. He has not yet been arrested, but jail records from Alameda County and San Joaquin County – where he is known to frequent – show that he is not in custody in either jurisdiction. He has also not appeared in court yet.

Court records show that Ramos has been arrested and has appeared in court twice, but he has not entered a plea yet. Both men have had previous run-ins with the law. Ramos was convicted in 2010 for possessing an assault weapon, while Pimentil's record includes gun possession and drug possession in a jail facility. Pimentil's most recent conviction was in 2019 for second-degree robbery in Alameda County.

Last year, while still on parole, Pimentil came under investigation for a potential parole violation after a photo on another person's Instagram account showed him with a revolver. However, he was never charged. During the investigation, the police discovered that Pimentil was a member of a gang based in Hayward.

Ramos is currently being held without bail. The police have not disclosed the motive behind the shooting or if Ayala was the intended target or a victim of mistaken identity. The community is left reeling from this senseless act of violence and mourning the loss of a young life. Justice must be served for Ayala and his loved ones.
