In March 2021, Javier Ramos was killed after they say investigators told them he fought back when a passenger tried to carjack him on the city’s West Side. During the attack, he was shot in the head and face.
Nearly four years after his shooting death, a Joshua Walker pleaded guilty in February to carjacking and weapons charges related to the deadly attack.
Walker was expected to be sentenced on Thursday. Prosecutors are asking the judge for a total of 122 months in jail.
Edmond Harris is facing charges for firing the deadly shots. He is expected to go to trial in April 2026.
