“To call the violent death of a 19-year-old a tragedy is somehow insufficient to the horror and loss that the reality entails. There is no closure or finality to the grief and anguish being felt by Tywon’s family and friends. There are only memories of his far-too-short life and the pursuit of justice for his far-too-early death,” District Attorney Kevin Hayden said.
Ramos' arraignment date has not been set.
