Federico Ramirez was a 22-year-old Latino man who was shot and killed on August 17, 2005, in the Wilmington neighborhood of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County coroner’s records list his cause of death as a gunshot wound on that same day.

Authorities described the incident as a gang-related shooting and the Los Angeles Police Department opened an investigation. The inquiry later produced arrests and charges against several people alleged to be involved, including a defendant named Tyrone Yree Edwards who was charged with Ramirez’s murder. Court filings from the case also mention at least one defendant who admitted to firing a weapon and acknowledged gang affiliation.
