Jeramee Ramey, 31, was fatally shot on May 25, 2017, on Red Bud Avenue in St. Louis after an argument during a dice game escalated into violence. The weapon used was an AK-47, and the shooting prompted a homicide investigation that connected the death to a wider string of incidents that followed that summer.

Authorities built a case pointing to Ollie Lynch. An accomplice, Marvell T. Williams Jr., testified that Lynch told him to pick him up and bring a gun; Williams then drove Lynch to the 4400 block of Red Bud where Lynch shot Ramey. Williams later accepted a plea deal and received a 15-year sentence for his role. Lynch was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole; prosecutors had at one point sought the death penalty but withdrew that request.

Lynch was also linked as a suspect to June 2017 shootings that killed 17-year-old Jalen Woods and 25-year-old Amber Green and injured four others, though he was acquitted of those charges. If anyone has information about Rameame Ramey’s life or the events on Red Bud Avenue that night, please share what is known.
