On the late evening of May 16, 2022, 27-year-old Ramon Izazaga Magaña was found dead behind the wheel of a vehicle that had crashed into a utility pole in the Golden West Mobile Manor Mobile Home Park area of Vancouver, Washington. The Clark County Medical Examiner ruled Magaña’s death a homicide due to a gunshot wound to the chest. Deputies arriving about 11:30 p.m. had found evidence of gunfire and blood in a driveway near the scene.

Investigators identified a 15-year-old, Adolfo Cruz Torres, as a suspect. Court records say Magaña had confronted the teenager outside his home about gang membership. Cruz Torres initially denied witnessing the shooting, then made an unsolicited statement admitting involvement and led officers to a Glock 23 with its serial number obliterated hidden under a neighbor’s porch. He was arrested and appeared in juvenile court on suspicion of second-degree murder, unlawful firearm possession, and altering a firearm’s identifying marks. At arraignment the only formal charge filed was second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm while the homicide investigation remained open; prosecutors said another juvenile was present and his role was under review.

Did anyone in the Orchards neighborhood see or hear anything that night, or know more about who was present at that address?
