A second suspect has been convicted in connection with the fatal shooting of Brandon Ramirez during a 2024 drug deal robbery. Elijah White, 20, pleaded no contest on June 19 to felony murder as a party to a crime and conspiracy to commit armed robbery.
According to court records, White was originally charged with first-degree intentional homicide but had his charges reduced through a plea agreement. He also pleaded guilty to resisting an officer, a misdemeanor.
White is the second of five suspects to be convicted in the case. The incident occurred in 2024, and it's unclear if there are any connections between this case and another recent weapons incident in the United States on June 22, 2026.
Background: In 2024, a fatal shooting occurred during a drug deal robbery. Five individuals were charged in connection with the crime. The first suspect was convicted earlier, and now Elijah White has pleaded no contest to reduced charges.
No further information is available about the current weapons incident on June 22, 2026, as it's unclear if there are any connections between this case and the fatal shooting from 2024.
