Alex Ramirez was 16 when he was shot and killed on September 4, 2016, at a residence on Hazard Avenue in Santa Ana, California. Police initially treated the incident as a drive-by shooting, but a search warrant and subsequent investigation found the fatal gunshot occurred inside a bedroom, contradicting the original narrative.

Investigators arrested 21-year-old neighbor and friend Matthew Jacob Granados; he turned himself in to Tustin police and was booked on a manslaughter charge with a firearms enhancement and held on $1,100,000 bail. Authorities also arrested Granados’ father, Alexander Granados, on suspicion of being an accessory after the fact and accused him of misleading investigators; his bail was set at $20,000 and he pleaded not guilty. Family statements suggested the shooting may have been accidental, including an account that both boys were asleep when the gun went off and Matthew was found holding the weapon.

Does anyone have information about Alex, the residence on Hazard Avenue, or what happened that night?
