Raymundo DeLao Ramirez

Raymundo DeLao Ramirez is remembered as a person whose life was rooted in Washington, D.C., and whose memory remains with family and community. Public records list his birthdate as August 7, 1983; he was taken from those who loved him on July 21, 2003. While the public record about Raymundo’s daily life and relationships is limited, what is certain is that he was a real person with a place in his neighborhood and in the lives of those who knew him.

Raymundo’s death occurred in the 1200 block of Stevens Road SE in Southeast Washington. That address and date are preserved in official Metropolitan Police Department communications and in public cold-case records. For more than two decades his loss has been part of the larger story of a community seeking safety and answers. Although details about his work, hobbies, or close family are not available in the accessible records, acknowledging Raymundo by name affirms that his life mattered beyond the brief notice of a tragic end.

This remembrance is written with restraint and care: it centers Raymundo rather than the circumstances of his death. If friends or family choose to add memories, photographs, personal anecdotes, or details of services, those contributions would help paint a fuller picture of who he was—his voice, the people he loved, and the small, everyday ways he shaped the lives around him. For now, his name and the date of July 21, 2003 remain the public threads that keep his memory present.

Those who hold information relevant to Raymundo’s death are asked by law-enforcement outreach to come forward; community-led cold-case efforts have also kept attention on his name in hopes that new information might bring resolution. Remembering Raymundo means acknowledging a life cut far too short and honoring him by refusing to let his name be forgotten.
