On July 27, 2023, 20-year-old Josephina Lerma-Dominguez was fatally shot on the top level of a parking garage in Wichita’s Old Town. Josephina, a Hispanic woman, had gone to the garage with her 21-year-old boyfriend, Bryan Lara-Hernandez, to help a friend, Zachary A. Ramirez, whose car battery had died. An argument and shoving match occurred; Lara-Hernandez reportedly drew a gun during the confrontation.

Later, as Lerma-Dominguez and Lara-Hernandez sat in their Honda preparing to leave, Ramirez fired multiple rounds into the passenger side of the vehicle. A street sweeper operator found the two victims inside the car at about 3:43 a.m. Lerma-Dominguez was struck by three bullets; both she and Lara-Hernandez were pronounced dead at the scene. Wichita police used parking garage surveillance and license plate reader data to identify and track Ramirez’s vehicle, and he was arrested that same day on suspicion of two counts of first-degree murder and related firearm charges.

Does anyone have information about Josephina, where she spent time in Wichita, or anything that could help fill gaps in the timeline that night?
