Yolanda Ramirez Death Ruled Accidental | Oakland News

A coroner’s inquest has ruled the death of 72-year-old Yolanda Ramirez as an accident — a verdict that could still hold officers accountable. Arrested after an argument with her sister, Ramirez died a week later after allegedly being shoved into a police car, hitting her head, and left alone for 20 minutes before collapsing. Body cam footage, now central to the case, shows her barely conscious and later succumbing to a brain bleed. Her family’s second autopsy — funded by the Colin Kaepernick Foundation — contradicted an earlier “natural causes” ruling, pointing to arrest-related injuries. While the jury chose “accident,” the family’s attorney hopes this finding will open the door for criminal charges against the officers involved.
