Ivan Coach Ramirez, 42, of Houston was found unresponsive in his home on the evening of March 31, 2024 and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Harris County Medical Examiner’s Office determined he died of a single gunshot wound and ruled the manner of death a homicide.

Detectives canvassed the neighborhood and interviewed witnesses; some residents reported hearing a loud bang that evening. Investigators collected surveillance footage from nearby homes that showed a dark-colored sedan in the area around the estimated time of death, but the license plate could not be read. Police identified and questioned a former acquaintance who had prior disputes with Ramirez, but that person was released for lack of concrete evidence. No arrests have been announced and the case remains open.

Anyone with information about the shooting, the dark-colored sedan, or Ramirez’s last movements is asked to contact the Houston Police Department to help his family find answers.
