Kevin Ramirez, 37, of Rosamond, California, was found dead with a gunshot wound to his upper body on Sierra Highway on November 11, 2022. Emergency personnel pronounced him dead at the scene and the Kern County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation.
Investigators arrested 28-year-old Gabriela Isabel Martinez in Acton on an outstanding murder warrant and charged her with first-degree murder. Court records say Martinez pleaded not guilty and was held on $1 million bail, with a preliminary hearing set for November 30, 2022.
Surveillance from the Rosamond Palms Motel reportedly shows Martinez and Ramirez arguing on the night of November 9, 2022; the video is said to capture Martinez pointing a gun at Ramirez and a muzzle flash. Martinez initially told investigators she acted in self-defense and alleged prior abuse, but her account changed multiple times and witnesses described earlier altercations between the couple, including an incident in which Ramirez used pepper spray.
Did anyone in Rosamond or Acton see Ramirez and Martinez together around November 9–11 who can add details to the timeline?
