posted (May 12, 2014)
On Friday, we told you about the gun police found at the funeral of 24 year-old Julian Willoughby. Well, the man who police say had it on him is in jail tonight. He's 21 year-old Wilfred Ramirez, a resident of Antelope Street Extension.

Ramirez was arraigned today before the Chief Magistrate, Ann Marie Smith on charges of keeping a prohibited firearm, and keeping unlicensed ammunition. He pleaded not guilty to both charges, but because they are firearm offences, he was remanded to prison until July 7th.

As we told you, Julian Willoughby's funeral service was just about to start, and according to police, they saw Ramirez behaving suspiciously. They went to search him and a sawed-off shot gun slid down his pants leg. They retrieved it and found that the shotgun was loaded with a 12-gauge cartridge.
