Jessyca Hohn, 38, was a bartender at Stars Bar & Grill in Federal Way, Washington, and a single mother remembered by friends and coworkers as bubbly, kind-hearted, and a hard worker who enjoyed dressing up and dancing. On the night of May 21, 2023, Hohn and her coworker Katie Duhnke confronted a patron after another customer warned that he was carrying a firearm. The confrontation continued outside in the bar’s parking lot after closing time.

Prosecutors say the patron, identified as Samuel Ramirez Jr., struck one of the women, then was tackled and held down by a male customer until he said he was done fighting. When the customer released him, Ramirez allegedly drew a handgun and shot Duhnke first, then fired multiple shots into Hohn’s back before standing over her and shooting her in the head. Both women died at the scene; the male patron was also shot and wounded while trying to flee.

The case remains an open homicide investigation. If anyone knew Jessyca, worked at Stars Bar & Grill, or saw the events that night, please share what was seen or heard.
