GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A fifth suspect has been charged in connection with a murder on Berner Street.
Rosemary Williams, 18, was charged Tuesday with felony murder and conspiracy to commit armed robbery for the drug deal-related murder of Brandon Ramirez last August. She allegedly helped arrange the drug deal, according to the criminal complaint.
The state Public Defender’s Office will need to find her an attorney. She returns to court May 28 for a balance of initial appearance. Bond was previously set at $100,000 cash, which she has been unable to post.
Four others were previously charged, including counts of being party to first-degree intentional homicide and conspiracy to commit armed robbery:
- Dion Richardson has a plea hearing May 6.
- Elijah White has a status conference May 13.
- Darian Pinchart has a plea hearing May 23.
- Nigel White has a status conference June 9
Richardson told police he made a deal to buy a half-pound of marijuana from Ramirez for $430.
“Dion told me everything happened so fast and the gun was on his head and he grabbed it. Dion said again he pointed the gun at him and told him to give me all that, give me that cash… Dion said once they got to Berner he pointed the gun right at him and the girl hoped over and started driving off while he was tussling over the gun. While tussling the gun went off, he hoped out the car, started rolling, hurt his leg and was limping when he went to Darian’s house,” a complaint states.
However, the woman who was driving the vehicle gave a different version. She was on Berner Street when another person entered the car.
“She heard the man behind her immediately say, ‘Don’t Move’ and observed a black gun raised between her and (Ramirez) who was seated in the front passenger seat. (The woman) heard a gunshot and said the noise deafened her right ear and caused her to panic, suddenly realized (Ramirez) was shot in the head,” the complaint states.
Ramirez died of a gunshot wound to the head, according to the autopsy cited in the complaint.
