OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/11/2025, at approximately 10:00 p.m., Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the Glenwood Apartments in the 500 block of Glenwood Drive near West Palm Beach after 58-year-old Liliana Calderon Ramirez was shot. Deputies found Ramirez suffering from gunshot wounds, and she later died at a hospital. Investigators alleged that a man who had previously lived with Ramirez entered her apartment through a rear sliding door, confronted her, shot her multiple times and left in a black Honda CR-V. Neighbors later described the man as Ramirez’s former partner and said the couple had separated approximately a year earlier.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office issued a regional alert describing the Honda and advising other agencies that its driver was wanted in connection with the homicide and was considered armed and dangerous. Florida Highway Patrol received the alert at approximately 10:42 p.m. A trooper located the Honda traveling north on Interstate 95 near Port St. Lucie at approximately 11:03 p.m. FHP, St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office and Martin County Sheriff’s Office personnel coordinated an attempt to stop the vehicle. Authorities reported that the driver continued north while police pursued.
At approximately 11:15 p.m., an FHP trooper used a PIT maneuver near mile marker 130 in St. Lucie County, forcing the Honda to stop on Interstate 95 just south of Orange Avenue. Troopers reported seeing the man with firearms after the vehicle stopped. Police closed both directions of I-95 and established positions around the Honda.
The encounter developed into an approximately two-hour standoff. According to St. Lucie County Sheriff Richard Del Toro and FHP Chief Matthew Williams, the man repeatedly moved in and out of the Honda while holding a handgun to his head. Crisis negotiators attempted to persuade him to surrender. Officers also deployed a less-lethal rubber impact projectile during the confrontation. Authorities alleged that the man dropped his handgun after being struck with the less-lethal round but then picked it back up.
Police alleged that at approximately 1:13 a.m. on 08/12/2025, the man moved toward the assembled officers and pointed the handgun in their direction. Four St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office deputies and three Florida Highway Patrol troopers then opened fire. FHP reported that two troopers fired rifles and a third fired a handgun. The man was struck multiple times. St. Lucie County Fire Rescue personnel provided emergency medical treatment but pronounced him dead shortly after 1:20 a.m.
The shooting involved at least seven law-enforcement personnel from two agencies. The four St. Lucie County deputies and three FHP troopers who fired were placed on administrative leave following the shooting. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement opened an independent investigation, with the State Attorney’s Office responsible for reviewing the findings. The Indian River County Sheriff’s Office assisted with processing the shooting scene.
The man’s identity was not publicly released in the contemporaneous or subsequent reporting located for this update. Because the shooting deputies and troopers also were not publicly identified in the available reports, the individual officers’ prior shooting, complaint, disciplinary and litigation histories could not be established from the public record.
