Klodian Ramaj was a 17-year-old male and a senior at Fossil Ridge High School in Keller, Texas. Born on May 6, 2004, in Tirana, Albania, he was the son of Rudina and Fatmir Ramaj and a brother to Julian. Friends remembered him as kind and sweet, and his family found it abnormal when he didn't respond to texts.
On the evening of March 12, 2022, Klodian told a friend he was going to help another friend, Johnny Noel Rojas, with something. About an hour later, Klodian and Johnny, also 17, were found inside a pickup truck in a Watauga neighborhood. Both young men had been shot to death. The discovery was made in the 5400 block of Caribou Ridge Drive, about two miles from where they lived.
The Watauga Police Department began an investigation and soon determined that the two teenagers had been targeted. Investigators learned that a suspect had been corresponding with the victims shortly before they were killed.
The evidence led police to identify 18-year-old Keiwone Leotis Morris as the person responsible for the shooting.
Police arrested Morris and charged him with two counts of capital murder for the deaths of Klodian Ramaj and Johnny Rojas. He was booked into jail and held on a combined bond of $1 million.
In 2025, Keiwone Morris pleaded guilty to murder. He was subsequently sentenced to serve 50 years in prison for the killings. With the conviction and sentencing, the case is considered closed.
