The Butte County authorities have recovered the body of a 13-year-old boy who was shot dead and dumped in a field in Oroville. The investigation has led to the arrest of another youth in connection with the child’s killing.

The Oroville police made the discovery of signs of a deadly shooting inside an abandoned stolen vehicle. This led the Butte County sheriff’s detectives to a field near the intersection of 18th Street and Tehama Avenue in Oroville, where they found the body of Amadeus Miller-Ramos, 13. The authorities believe that Miller-Ramos was shot inside the vehicle and his body was subsequently dropped into the field. It is suspected that four juveniles, including Miller-Ramos, were inside the vehicle at the time of the incident. One of the youths was handling a gun, which accidentally went off and resulted in the fatal shot that killed the 13-year-old.

The Oroville police have arrested the youth who allegedly fired the fatal shot and have booked the individual into Butte County juvenile custody.

This tragic incident highlights the importance of responsible gun ownership and the need for proper education and supervision when it comes to firearms. Accidental shootings involving minors are devastating, and it is crucial that steps are taken to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

The Butte County Sheriff’s Office and Oroville police are working diligently to gather all the necessary evidence and information related to this case. The arrest of the youth responsible for the shooting brings some closure to the investigation, but the impact of this incident will undoubtedly be felt by the victim’s family and the community for a long time.

It is a reminder that the safety and well-being of our youth should always be a top priority, and efforts should be made to create a safe environment for them to grow and thrive..
