Inside the vehicle was the driver, Roy Govea Jr (35), and passenger, Daniel Ramirez (18). Govea was found to be on probation and both were norteno gang members.
During a search of the vehicle Officers located a .32 caliber revolver with a scratched off serial number, in a backpack, at the feet of the passenger.
Officers then went to the city of Gonzales to complete a probation check at the residence where the two lived.
At the residence Officers located a ghost short-barreled assault rifle and a ghost Glock handgun. All three firearms were determined to be Ramirez’s. Ramirez was lodged at Monterey County Jail on numerous weapons charges.”
