BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) -- A woman on Friday pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of her boyfriend outside a Rosamond motel two years ago. Gabriela Martinez, 30, entered the no contest plea in exchange for the dismissal of a charge of first-degree murder, according to court records. A sentencing hearing is scheduled Feb. 25. Martinez was arrested days after the Nov. 9, 2022, shooting of Kevin Ramirez, 37, outside the Rosamond Palms Motel. She told investigators Ramirez abused her, saying she shot him because she feared for her safety. Later, she changed her story, according to court documents. She said the gun went off when Ramirez tried to take it from her because he planned on killing himself. A motel employee told investigators Martinez assaulted Ramirez and pointed a gun at him on the night of the shooting. Convicted escaped murderer Cesar Hernandez was ‘given a key or made a handcuff key’: Sheriff Youngblood Investigators obtained motel surveillance video and watched footage showing Ramirez and Martinez arguing outside the motel at about 11:11 p.m., documents said. Martinez had a gun in her right hand. “Martinez can be seen waving the black semi-automatic handgun and even points it at (Ramirez),” documents said. The two, still arguing, leave by the motel’s main entrance and walk south toward Rosamond Boulevard. They stop at the southeast part of the motel property. Around 11:30 p.m., the two are still walking back and forth and a muzzle flash is seen, according to the documents. Only one person is seen walking away. Ramirez's body was found in the area where the muzzle flash was seen. Martinez was arrested in Acton on Nov. 14, 2022.
