WALDORF, Md. — A Charles County Grand Jury indicted Keycy Barrera-Rosa, 24, of Waldorf, on April 25, 2025, for the murder of his girlfriend, Lesbia Ramirez Guerra. The indictment charges Barrera-Rosa with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and making a false report, following an investigation by the Charles County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO).
On April 2, 2025, Barrera-Rosa reported Ramirez Guerra missing from their Waldorf residence. CCSO detectives reviewed surveillance footage showing the victim entering the home on March 31, 2025, but never leaving. Witnesses reported a violent argument between Barrera-Rosa and Ramirez Guerra in the early morning of April 1, 2025. That afternoon, footage captured Barrera-Rosa retrieving a large plastic bin from a backyard shed and moving it to the back of the house, then driving his truck to the same area.
Cellular tower data revealed Barrera-Rosa traveled to Prince George’s County on April 1, 2025, to meet his uncle, Rolvin Barrera-Barrera, at a construction site. The two then drove to a secluded, wooded area near Cedarville State Park. In an interview, Barrera-Barrera told detectives that Barrera-Rosa admitted to strangling Ramirez Guerra and sought help to hide her body. He stated the victim was already deceased in a plastic bin in Barrera-Rosa’s truck during their meeting. Barrera-Barrera confessed to helping bury the body in a wooded area near Cedarville State Park.
On April 18, 2025, CCSO officers recovered Ramirez Guerra’s body in a plastic bin buried at the location described by Barrera-Barrera, consistent with phone records showing where the two parked on April 1, 2025. Barrera-Rosa was arrested on April 5, 2025, by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on unrelated charges. ICE transferred him to CCSO custody on April 22, 2025. He is held without bond at the Charles County Detention Center.
Barrera-Barrera faces charges in Prince George’s County as an accessory after the fact to murder and is also held without bond. The charges against Barrera-Rosa are allegations, and he is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The investigation began after Barrera-Rosa’s missing person report prompted CCSO to examine surveillance and witness accounts, revealing inconsistencies. The violent argument reported by witnesses suggested foul play, leading detectives to focus on Barrera-Rosa’s actions on April 1, 2025. The recovery of Ramirez Guerra’s body corroborated Barrera-Barrera’s account, solidifying the case against Barrera-Rosa.
The indictment marks a significant step in addressing the tragic death of Ramirez Guerra. The first-degree murder charge indicates premeditation, while the second-degree murder charge accounts for intentional but unplanned killing. The false report charge stems from Barrera-Rosa’s misleading missing person claim. CCSO’s use of surveillance, cellular data, and witness interviews underscores the thorough investigation that led to the charges.
The case awaits further court proceedings, with Barrera-Rosa’s detention ensuring he remains in custody pending trial.
