Judge Hector Ramon released a murder suspect on zero bail. Communities are furious.

  • Defendant: Vicente Aguilera, identified as a certified gang member.
  • Charges: First‑degree murder with a firearm, connected to a 2017 gang‑related shooting outside a Sunnyvale nightclub.
  • Cold case reopened: The case was revived in 2025 after detectives revisited evidence and linked Aguilera to the killing.
  • Judge’s decision: Judge Hector Ramon ordered Aguilera’s release on supervised own recognizance (OR) — meaning no bail was required, but conditions were imposed.
  • DA’s reaction: Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen strongly criticized the ruling, saying it endangered public safety.
