Yvonne Raquel Ramirez, 19, of Baytown, is facing murder charges after she allegedly gunned down Joshua McKinney at about 4:30 a.m. Sunday in Harris County. Prosecutors said Tuesday that Ramirez, who recently met the aspiring Marine and started spending time with him, concocted a plan to rob him of his firearms, KTRK reports.<\/p>\n

Ramirez allegedly demanded $2,000 from McKinney in exchange for the return of his guns during the encounter, which quickly turned violent, a witness told detectives, according to the station.<\/p>\n

McKinney put Ramirez in a neck hold and put a gun to her head, according to the witness account. At that point the witness called police, just moments before gunshots were heard in the 100 block of Mizell Street.<\/p>\n

McKinney was found dead in the street, while Ramirez had been shot in the shoulder. She initially told responding deputies that McKinney was shot when the gun dropped and fired, but she later told investigators that she grabbed his gun and fired it in self-defense, KTRK reports.<\/p>\n

Another witness reported seeing Ramirez trying to move McKinney\u2019s body after the fatal shooting. She also stole his wallet, prosecutors allege.<\/p>\n

Ramirez remained held on $50,000 bail in the Harris County Jail as of early Wednesday, jail records show. She was expected to appear in court later Wednesday.<\/p>\n
