The search stemmed from a felony traffic stop that was initiated by a San Saba officer that Ramirez fled from on foot. Later, officers found evidence that Ramirez took a white Ford Expedition and later abandoned it and entered Lampasas County, which extended the search. Officers from the Texas Rangers, Texas DPS, Texas Game Wardens, Lampasas and San Saba County Sheriff’s Offices and San Saba Police worked together for the past two days looking for Ramirez.

However, they’ve called off the search, saying they believe the suspect has left the area. A warrant has been issued by the San Saba Police Department for Ramirez, charging him with murder. If you have any information about his whereabouts, contact 9-1-1 or the San Saba Police Department at 325.372.5551.
