Two teenagers were found shot to death inside a Fort Wayne home after a call about a person down in a garage. On December 3, 2021, 16-year-old Juan Jose Ramirez Jr. of Ypsilanti, Michigan, and 19-year-old Brendan Steave Cole were discovered deceased on Cumberland Avenue; the Allen County Coroner’s Office ruled both deaths homicides and reported Ramirez suffered sixteen gunshot wounds.

Investigators say evidence placed 19-year-old Tre Zwieg at the scene on December 2. Detectives recovered an AR-15, a makeshift ski mask, and three handgun magazines from his residence that matched shell casings at the scene. Authorities allege Zwieg lured Ramirez and Cole to the house with a story about planning a burglary and that the real motive involved a dispute from a prior business transaction. Reportedly Zwieg admitted to texting with Cole and, according to police, asked his girlfriend to give a false alibi.

Zwieg was charged and tried; the jury convicted him and he received a 140-year prison sentence. Does anyone have information about Ramirez’s movements in Fort Wayne in late 2021 or remember seeing him around Cumberland Avenue?
