Quimpo said that Ramirez was a social butterfly, but he was careful and responsible too. At 3:45 a.m., police said that they found Ramirez passed out in the back of a cab, and he died at the hospital. The mental health counselor who lived in Bushwick was partying with a friend the night he died, their last stop being the Ritz Bar and Lounge before the two went separate ways. 'It's been taking a toll on all of us, everybody knew how lively he is, we can all hear his voice.' 'We want to find out who did this,' said Quimpo, who described Ramirez as a brother.
