  • FBI Director Kash Patel announced Thursday that Samuel Ramirez Jr. was apprehended in Sinaloa, Mexico, and landed in Seattle, where he was taken into custody by the Federal Way police.
  • At the center of the case is the May 21, 2023, shooting at Stars Bar and Grill, Federal Way, where Ramirez Jr. allegedly killed Katie Duhnke and Jessyca Hohn and was charged May 24, 2023, with first- and second-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.
  • Named to the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list on March 10, Ramirez Jr. was the 538th addition and captured in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico, just 1 hour and 13 minutes later with a $1,000,000 reward attached.
  • He remains held on $5 million bail and is expected to appear in King County Superior Court for arraignment sometime this month.
  • Officials credited international coordination among the FBI Legal Attaché in Mexico City, SSPC, INM, SEDENA, and the National Guard, while public tips and the unlawful-flight charge focused resources after nearly three years on the run.
