Yener Ramirez Miranda, 37, of Wilmington was working his usual street vending route in Long Beach when was killed by stray gunfire on March 20.
Long Beach police say they’ve arrested three gang members believed to be responsible for a shooting in March that left a beloved street vendor dead.
James Havlicheck, 34, of Lakewood, Raylon Akers, 23, of Los Angeles, and Rahman Abdallah, 19, of Long Beach were arrested last week in connection to the fatal shooting of Yener Ramirez Miranda, 37, of Wilmington on March 20.
“Mr. Ramirez Miranda was a father, like myself, a husband and a familiar face to those he served in our community,” Mayor Rex Richardson said during a press conference Monday morning.
“I firmly believe that everyone has a right to do business and live in our communities free of gun violence … including our street vendors," Richardson continued.
