Steven Somers, 33, was shot to death on November 11, 2019, on Payne Road in Haw River, North Carolina, where he had been living with his grandfather, Jerry Williamson. Both Somers and Williamson were killed by a high-powered rifle; each was found with a gunshot wound to the head.

Authorities say Justin Lynn Ramirez, 31, a fugitive who had been staying on the property since August and living in a shed with Somers, is accused in the killings. The clash reportedly began after Ramirez was shooting toward Williamson’s house and Williamson asked him to stop; a verbal altercation over the use of rifles on the property is cited as the believed motive. Ramirez was located hours later at a BP in Asheboro, driving a stolen pickup, and was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and felony larceny of a motor vehicle; the District Attorney said the death penalty was being considered.

Family members described Ramirez and Somers as having been friends and indicated drugs played a role in Ramirez’s life; Somers had been living next door after being put out of his own house. Does anyone have additional information about Somers’s life in Haw River or the events that day?
