PHOENIX – Police on Monday released the names of three homicide victims whose bodies were found earlier this month in a vacant lot in southwest Phoenix.

The remains of 28-year-old Herminio Perez Ramirez, 21-year-old Isauro Martinez Dominguez and 16-year-old Abimael Jimenez Morenos were found Feb. 20 near 99th Avenue and Mobile Lane, between Broadway Road and Southern Avenue in Phoenix’s Estrella Village neighborhood, the Phoenix Police Department said.

No information about how they were killed has been released.

Officers found the bodies with “obvious signs of trauma” around 1:35 p.m. after responding to a call about an injured person in a vacant lot, police said in a press release last week.

The homicide investigation is ongoing.

Anybody with information about the case was asked to call the Phoenix Police Department at 602-262-6151 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS (948-6377) or 480-TESTIGO (837-8446) for Spanish.

We want to hear from you.
