Botched gang ambush killed longtime street vendor, investigators testify in court hearing

A judge ruled Wednesday that there is enough evidence for two men to stand trial on charges that they accidentally killed a longtime Wrigley neighborhood street vendor when they opened fire on a rival gang member.

Yener Ramirez-Miranda, 37 of Wilmington, was shot at about 4 p.m. on  March 20, 2024, on Eagle Street just west of Locust Avenue.

The four men involved in his death had just gotten out of a gray Honda Civic on Earl Street and were walking to a liquor store when they saw a man they recognized from social media as a rival gang member, Detective Alfredo Chairez testified at Wednesday’s hearing in Long Beach Superior Court.
