UPDATE 7/22/2024 

Today, Long Beach Police Department Chief of Police Wally Hebeish announced the arrest of three suspects responsible for the shooting of Yener Hudiel Ramirez-Miranda on March 20, 2024.

Through their ongoing investigation and use of security camera footage, Homicide detectives were able to identify three suspects who were present at the time of the shooting. In collaboration with detectives from the Special Investigations Division, LBPD SWAT Team, and the Huntington Beach Police Department SWAT Team, Homicide detectives located the three suspects and safely arrested them.

Detectives booked the following three suspects:

  • Rahman Snook Abdallah, a 19-year-old resident of Long Beach, was booked for murder. Abdallah was arrested on 7/18/2024 in the city of Long Beach. Bail was set at $2,000,000.
  • Raylon Deshawn Akers, a 23-year-old resident of Los Angeles, was booked for murder. Akers was arrested on 7/18/2024 in the city of Long Beach. Bail was set at $2,000,000.
  • James Arthur Havlicheck Jr., a 33-year-old resident of Lakewood, was booked for accessory to murder. Havlicheck was arrested on 7/19/2024 in the city of Los Angeles. Bail was set at $1,000,000.

"Mr. Ramirez-Miranda is the victim of unacceptable gang-related gun violence," said Chief of Police Wally Hebeish. "I believe these arrests demonstrate that our department will never stop working with and for our community. We remain dedicated to our community's safety and to holding individuals accountable for their crimes."

“Mr. Ramirez-Miranda was a beloved member of the Long Beach community. Safety takes all of us and gun violence is not tolerated in our city," said Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson. "As a City, we are committed to disrupting this cycle of gang-related violence and to keeping everyone safe."

During the arrests, officers recovered multiple firearms. Detectives served search warrants in the cities of Long Beach, Huntington Beach, Lakewood, and Los Angeles.

Homicide detectives believe the suspects fired shots at subjects they believed to be rival gang members. Victim Ramirez-Miranda was an innocent bystander and not involved in gang activity.

Each of the suspects is a gang member and prohibited possessor.

Homicide detectives believe there were additional subjects in the area at the time of the shooting. We urge anyone with information to contact the LBPD at 562.570.7244 or submit an anonymous tip via LA Crime Stoppers.

Detectives will present the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office this week.

The Long Beach Police Department would like to thank the Huntington Beach Police Department SWAT Team for their assistance.
