Family Devastated By Yucca Valley Shooting That Left Teen In Grave Condition

YUCCA VALLEY, CA — A Yucca Valley family has been devastated following a weekend shooting in the community that left their child in grave condition.

Michael Ramos, 18, was shot Sunday night at a house party in the 57000 block of Chipmunk Trail.

"The Ramos family has always been involved and given so much to our community with many of our kiddos, whether it is for Yucca Valley Trojans Football, Lobos football/cheer program, Super Nova competitive cheer, and Turkey Bowl," a GoFundMe page for the family reads. "Little Michael has grown up with many of our kiddos. This travesty has hit our community hard, and there are many who are coming together to show love and support for his family."

As of Tuesday afternoon, the page had raised more than $16,000.

According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, just before 10 p.m. Sunday, deputies were called regarding a shooting on Chipmunk Trail.

When deputies arrived, they found Ramos suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to the hospital in grave condition and is not expected to survive, according to the sheriff's department.

Investigators determined Ramos and a man, later identified as Nicholas Daniel Lee, 29, of Yucca Valley, got into an argument at the party, and Lee shot the teen before fleeing the scene.

Deputies found Lee hiding in the area and arrested him. He was booked into county jail on suspicion of attempted murder. The charge will be modified to murder if Ramos dies, according to the sheriff's department.
