William J. Ramsey, 34, was found dead outside his front door at 3819 7th St E in Bradenton on the evening of May 30, 2019. He had been seen shortly beforehand walking north along 7th St E carrying a case of beer he had just purchased. Neighbors reported hearing a loud vehicle in the area around the time he was killed, and that detail has prompted speculation about a vehicle’s involvement.

Known as Big Jake, Ramsey enjoyed fishing, hunting, and music and is survived by his mother, Anita Hubbard, and several siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews. The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office and the Manatee County Homicide Task Force have been investigating, but the case remains unsolved and no arrests have been announced. Authorities have offered rewards for tips that could lead to an arrest.

If anyone knew William’s movements that night or saw a suspicious vehicle on 7th St E around 9:45 PM on May 30, 2019, please share what you know.
