Ramiro Castillo Jaramillo was 38 when he was fatally shot in his Raytown, Missouri, home on June 16, 2021. Described as social, hardworking and willing to help others, he had studied Radiology and Auto Mechanics and was pursuing a life insurance certification. The fatal shooting began during a household dispute with his roommate, Robert E. Matlock Jr., reportedly over Jaramillo locking the garage where he kept his medical marijuana.

Reports state the argument escalated after Jaramillo entered Matlock’s bedroom. Matlock, who was recording the confrontation on his cellphone, shot Jaramillo multiple times in the right side and back. Police found Jaramillo with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and died later that day. Matlock was arrested at the scene and told police he believed Jaramillo was armed though he admitted he did not see a weapon and claimed self-defense. Matlock was charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action.

The case included Matlock’s own video of the incident as evidence. Does anyone have information about Ramiro Castillo Jaramillo, their relationship with Matlock, or the events at the Raytown home that night?
