On April 8, 1998, northeast of San Angelo, Texas, co-defendant Edward Bell fatally shot San Angelo firefighter Nemecio Nandin (Memorial# 94890981). The victim was lured to a secluded area about 25 miles northeast of San Angelo under the pretext of fixing a washing machine. (The victim fixed appliances in his spare time.) He was handcuffed and walked to a shallow grave, which had been previously dug, and fatally shot. Ramirez had hired co-defendant Bell to carry out the shooting. Bell was sentenced to life in prison for his participation. On October 20, 2005, Ramirez was executed by lethal injection for the murder.

Last Statement:
"Yes I do. I would like to address you first. I did not kill your loved one, but I hope that one day you find out who did. I wish I could tell you the reason why, or give some kind of solace; you lost someone you love very much. The same as my family and friends are going to lose in a few minutes. I am sure he died unjustly, just like I am. I did not murder him; I did not have anything to do with his death. And to you my family and friends, I love you dearly. Even though I die, that love for you will never die. Into Your hands, Lord, I commit my spirit. Thank you. Thank you all."

Cause of Death: Executed by Lethal Injection in the State of Texas.
