Irvin Steven Garcia, a 23-year-old Latino, was fatally shot on September 2, 2014, in the Pico-Union neighborhood of Los Angeles. Officers responding to a call at the 1200 block of Menlo Avenue found Garcia with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 2:40 a.m. The LAPD ruled out suicide and treated the death as a homicide.

Detectives arrested Garcia’s common-law wife, Janet Ivonne Ramirez, then 24, on suspicion of murder. She was charged with second-degree murder under California Penal Code § 187(a) with a special allegation that she personally used a firearm; bail was set at $2 million and an arraignment was scheduled for September 18, 2014. The prosecution told the jury the couple had lived together with their two young daughters and argued Ramirez intentionally shot Garcia, while the defense said the shooting was accidental.
