Miguel Ramirez, 30, died after being shot on July 2, 2018, on the Ridgewood Grade near the turnoff to the Golden Rule community in Willits, California. He was traveling in a maroon Chevrolet pickup truck with his brother, Ubaldo Ramirez Davila, and their father, Calixto Ramirez Guererro. Miguel was critically injured at the scene and died in a Santa Rosa hospital two days later; their father was found dead inside the truck.

Responding Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office deputies, California Highway Patrol officers and local firefighters discovered the two victims after receiving reports of a vehicle blocking traffic. Ubaldo Ramirez Davila, who had been sitting in the truck’s backseat, was identified as the suspect and arrested the following day after tips led authorities to his location. He later admitted to the shootings and pleaded guilty to two counts of voluntary manslaughter; a sentence of 24 years and four months was imposed, with parole eligibility after serving at least 20.5 years, followed by deportation to Mexico.

The case attracted attention because both victims were family members and the incident unfolded on a public roadway. Does anyone have information about the Ridgewood Grade area on July 2, 2018, or recall seeing that maroon Chevrolet pickup?
