Jeremie Ray Gomez, a 36-year-old Hispanic male, tragically passed away on January 25, 2022, in Amarillo, Texas. Born on April 17, 1985, in Lubbock, Texas, Jeremie was a devoted father to his three children: Gabriella Noel Gomez, Jayden Jeremiah, and Jeremie Ray Gomez Jr. He was known for his big heart and dedication to his family and friends. Jeremie graduated from Palo Duro High School and attended Amarillo College, where he earned a degree in Auto Body Works.
His life revolved around his children, and he spent much of his time attending their sporting events, playing video games, and cooking with them.
On the night of January 25, 2022, Amarillo police officers were dispatched to a 911 hang-up call in the 900 block of South Buchanan Street. A woman at the location informed the officers that her boyfriend had been shot, but she did not know the address. The officers followed her to a residence on North Williams Street, where they discovered Jeremie Ray Gomez's body with a gunshot wound. The investigation into his death led to multiple arrests and charges.
In February 2022, Jaicelyn Morgan Anzualdua, a 20-year-old woman, was arrested and charged with murder in connection to Jeremie's death. Her charge was later upgraded to capital murder in April 2022. The investigation continued, and on April 20, 2023, two more individuals were arrested in connection to the case. Joel Marquez, a 37-year-old male, and Corrina Yvette Ramos, a 25-year-old female, were both charged with capital murder. They were arrested at different locations in Amarillo and booked into the Potter County Detention Center.
The arrests and ongoing investigation highlight the efforts of the Amarillo Police Department's Homicide Unit to bring justice for Jeremie Ray Gomez and his family. The case remains a significant event in the community, as it underscores the importance of thorough investigative work and the pursuit of justice for victims of violent crimes.
