Karen Ramirez was 26 when she was last seen in southeast Houston on the evening of March 24, 2017. She had been at a club with her boyfriend, Miguel Angel Buezo, and neighbors later reported hearing the couple loudly arguing in their driveway between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. on March 25. During that argument, Buezo was reportedly heard threatening to shoot Ramirez.

Surveillance video recorded Buezo at the back of Ramirez’s car, looking into the trunk before closing it and returning to his house. On March 31 her red car was found abandoned in the 8300 block of Tilgham Street at Port Houston. Investigators discovered a large amount of blood inside the vehicle, a bullet hole in the passenger-side door, a bullet recovered under the driver’s seat, and a bloodstain and strong odor of decomposition in the trunk. The blood pattern suggested someone had been shot in the driver’s seat, moved to the passenger seat, then placed in the trunk.

The investigation focused on Miguel Angel Buezo. He left the area on March 25 claiming he needed to fly to Honduras to see a sick mother and persuaded his estranged wife to help move Ramirez’s car; family later said the mother was not sick. Ramirez’s body has not been found. If anyone has information about Karen, her movements that night, or the location of her remains, please share what is known with investigators.
