Ramon Ramirez Jr., 31, of Allentown, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed on April 21, 2021 while fueling his truck at a Wawa in Upper Macungie Township. The attack began earlier that morning when a gunman fired at a car on a highway several miles away; the same shooter then drove to the Wawa, wounded another man in a Jeep, and fatally shot Ramirez.

Authorities identified the shooter as 45-year-old Za Uk Lian of South Whitehall Township and said there was no apparent motive or connection between the shooter and the victims, describing the attacks as indiscriminate. Ramirez worked as a truck driver for A. Duie Pyle since November 2019 and was married with three children. Co-workers and friends remember him as a devoted husband and father, and the Wawa employee who protected customers during the shooting was praised.

Ramon’s death was ruled a homicide. If anyone has information about Ramon’s last movements or was at the Wawa that morning, please come forward.
