According to the sheriff’s office, Ramirez was identified on Wednesday afternoon as a person of interest in the homicide. That same day he was stopped by authorities after being seen driving without a valid license, deputies claim.
During that stop, a loaded pistol was allegedly found in Ramirez’s vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.
Ramirez was taken for questioning and allegedly confessed, according to the sheriff’s office. He was charged on Wednesday.
Investigators believe a local home that was searched on Wednesday was the site of Garcia’s murder.
Ramirez remains in custody in lieu of $250,000 bond. Attorney information was not available Thursday.
He has not yet entered a plea.
