The Orange County Sheriff’s Department has released video investigators hope will lead to the killer or killers of 19-year-old Jonathan Ramirez in March.
The first part of the video posted on YouTube shows two friends carrying the mortally injured Ramirez into Western Anaheim Medical Center, where he later died from a stab wound or wounds.

The stabbing “may have happened in Stanton, Garden Grove or Anaheim” on March 23, according to an OCSD statement.
Here is the surveillance footage released Friday on YouTube:
