On the evening of November 6, 2023, 33-year-old Cassandra Casares was shot and killed in the parking lot of Moran Park Church in Holland, Michigan. Casares and a 34-year-old male cousin had parked alongside another vehicle when an altercation between occupants of the two cars escalated and shots were fired. Casares and her wounded cousin drove to a nearby hospital; Casares died of her injuries and her cousin survived.

Authorities identified 27-year-old Ramses Avimael Velasco Sanabria as the suspect and issued a homicide warrant accusing him of killing Casares and injuring her cousin. Sanabria is described as a West Olive resident; an initial description of the shooter was a heavy-set Hispanic male, about 40 years old, wearing all black. Investigators warned he should be considered armed and dangerous and a reward was offered for information leading to his capture. The motive has not been released.
