Gabriela Sifuentes Castilla, 38, known to listeners as Gaby Ramos on the Spanish-language station La Mas Picosita, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of October 17, 2021, at the Taylorsville, Utah, home she shared with her sister. An argument with her ex-boyfriend, Manuel Omar Burciaga-Perea, reportedly over an engagement ring escalated that night. After briefly leaving the residence, Burciaga-Perea returned; Gabriela opened the door believing police were responding to an earlier 911 call and was then shot multiple times in the chest, arm, and head in the presence of her sister and nieces. First responders pronounced her dead at the scene.

Burciaga-Perea fled immediately afterward and was identified as the primary suspect. Authorities pursued an international search, and he was arrested in Chihuahua, Mexico, on Thanksgiving Day 2022. He was later extradited to Utah and was charged in Salt Lake County with aggravated murder, aggravated burglary, aggravated assault, and domestic violence in the presence of a child; a judge ordered him to stand trial in September 2024.

Did anyone in the community know Gabriela or have information about what happened that night?
