Carlos Camaja, 24, a Hispanic man from Springfield, Tennessee, was found shot to death in the early morning of June 11, 2024, by railroad tracks near the Robertson–Montgomery County line in the Adams area. First responders were initially called to what was thought to be a pedestrian-train accident, but investigators determined Camaja had been shot and his body left at the rural location. The Robertson County Sheriff’s Office led the inquiry.

Investigators concluded Camaja was likely shot at a residence on North Oak Street in Springfield and then moved to the tracks. With assistance from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, two suspects were identified and on June 24 law enforcement arrested 48-year-old Celia Ramirez-Hernandez, described as Camaja’s girlfriend, and her 34-year-old son, Misael Cruz-Hernandez. Both face charges of criminal homicide, criminal simulation, and fabricating or tampering with evidence and were held without bond.

Apolinar Sadierna-Garcia, known as Polo, a roommate from the same North Oak Street residence, was reported missing a day after Camaja’s body was found; he was last seen on June 7. Authorities have not confirmed whether the missing-person report and Camaja’s killing are connected. If anyone knew Carlos, Polo, or has information about the North Oak Street residence, please share what is known with investigators.
