The stale beer smell still clings to the memory of the Stars Bar and Grill in Federal Way. May 21st, 2023. A night that ended with two women dead, one fighting for her life, and a ghost named Samuel Ramirez, Jr. slipping across the border. The King County Superior Court doesn’t care about ghosts. They issued the warrant for First and Second Degree Murder, Attempted Murder, and now the FBI is offering a million dollars – a cool million – for anyone who can turn this phantom into a prisoner.
Ramirez, a six-foot, 200-pound Hispanic male born in California back in ‘92, didn’t stick around to explain himself. He bolted for Arizona, Lake Havasu City specifically, then vanished into the labyrinth of Tijuana. They say he’s armed, dangerous, and that’s not just police boilerplate. Two bodies speak for themselves. Witnesses describe a coldness, a deliberate precision to the shooting, and those who knew him speak of a volatile temper barely held in check. He’s got ink—a lion emblazoned on his right wrist and forearm, a detail that might stand out in a crowd, or a dusty cantina.
The trail isn’t cold, but it’s twisting. Ramirez has roots that stretch from the sun-baked streets of Compton to the neon glare of Las Vegas, and deep into the heart of Mexico, specifically Jalisco and Sinaloa. Those connections aren’t just geographical; they’re the kind that offer shelter, a network of silence. The FBI believes someone, somewhere, is helping him stay hidden. A million dollars buys a lot of silence, but it also buys a lot of betrayal.
This isn’t a case of mistaken identity or a simple bar fight gone wrong. This is a calculated escape, a man actively evading justice for a brutal act. The faces of the victims haunt the investigation, a constant reminder of the stakes. Every shadow, every whisper, every anonymous tip is being scrutinized. The FBI isn’t letting up, but they need your help.
If you’ve seen Samuel Ramirez, Jr., if you have any information – no matter how small – regarding his whereabouts, do not approach him. Contact the FBI immediately at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit your tip online at tips.fbi.gov. A million-dollar reward awaits information leading to his arrest. Don’t look the other way. Someone knows something. Help bring a killer to justice.
