Documents say he brought two guns to the sleepover, and at some point he picked one up, pointed it at Jeremiah Gonzalez and shot him.
The host of the sleepover told police that Ramos frequently points unloaded firearms at them and pulls the trigger.
Gonzalez was taken to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Ramos is expected to face a judge Friday morning.
Loved ones of Gonzalez started a GoFundMe to help lay the teen to rest after this unexpected tragedy.
