Sterling Mickey Riley, 25, was shot to death at his home in Carlsbad, Texas, on February 15, 2020. He is remembered by family and friends for his kind heart and sense of humor and is survived by his fiancée Miranda Ramirez, their three children, and his parents, siblings and extended family.

Investigators say Justin Ray Ramirez got into a fight with Riley, produced a gun and fired an entire clip, striking Riley once in the chest and once in the head. Ramirez’s sister reportedly witnessed the shooting. Ramirez was arrested the day after the killing and held on a $500,000 bond; his girlfriend Cheyenne Bragdon was arrested for aiding his escape. Authorities say Ramirez attempted to flee to Canada with Bragdon and later sold the firearm used in the shooting to Adrian Hernandez Villarreal, who has been arrested on unrelated charges.

An indictment on the murder charge for Ramirez was filed May 12, 2020. Does anyone have information about Sterling or that night that could help the investigation?
