FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) — The life of 9-year-old Janessa Ramirez was taken in a shooting and a decade later, family, friends and the community came together to keep her memory alive.  Janessa Ramirez would have been 19 years old.  "Ten years later and still very devastated and heartbroken. And being here kind of like gives me the chills," Stacey Gonzales, Janessa's Mom said.  9-year-old Janessa was standing in front of a West Central Fresno laundromat with her mom when she was struck by a stray bullet during a gang dispute back in 2015. "She was laying on the ground and was telling me that her stomach was burning and her chest, her back was hurting. So, when I rolled her to see why her back, you see like a cigarette burn, and it was actually, the lady confirmed that she was shot," Gonzales said.  Janessa's mom relives this memory every day.  "She told me she's seeing Jesus and then she told me she loved me and then she closed her eyes. So, it's a peace to know, like, you know, I did raise a very good, God-fearing child that, you know, the Lord was with her," Gonzales said.  Janessa was a 4th grader in Central Unified School District. A scholarship was named in Janessa's honor four years ago.  A mural painted on the Granville-Teague Community Resource Center in Northwest Fresno raises awareness of the effects of gang violence. "It's just really troubling to know that all these years later that we are struggling to put together services to prioritize the rights for crime victims," Beloved Survivors' Trauma Recovery Center advocate Tina Rodriguez said Rodriguez said no one should have to go through this pain.   "Having to wake up every day and grieve her daughter. And those are the things that nobody understands. How are you going to eat? How are you going to pay your life? How are you going to pay your rent? Then trying to wrap your brain around, I lost my child, my nine-year-old," Rodriguez said.  Brian Cooks was convicted of killing Janessa in 2018 and sentenced to 21 years. However, Cooks petitioned for re-sentencing last year under a California law and was reduced to 16 years. "He's going to get out sooner than he should. So, it's not a good thing. I felt like he should have been a lot longer for what he's done," Gonzales said. Janessa's mom also said she is currently working on writing a book called "Forever Nine" to tell the story of her daughter.
