Victims killed in shooting at Napa Park Homes identified, suspect Baltazar Juarez shot himself
Juarez was being treated at a hospital.
A tragic incident in Napa has left two people dead and a community reeling. Georgina Padilla, a 38-year-old mother of three, and her attorney, Ralph Andino III, were allegedly shot and killed by her new boyfriend, Baltazar Rangel Juarez.
The incident unfolded on Thursday morning when Juarez arrived at Padilla’s apartment complex on Lincoln Avenue.
Hours later, police located Juarez and engaged in a pursuit that ended in a standoff at Kennedy Park. During the confrontation, Juarez shot himself and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
This marks the second double homicide in Napa this year. In April, two young women were killed near the Napa River shoreline, and a man and a woman have been charged in connection with those crimes.
Napa Mayor Scott Sedgley expressed his condolences to the victims’ families and commended the police officers involved in the case.

18-year-old Kyler Naely charged for the murder in shooting death of 16-year-old Ja’Tycie Williams
An 18-year-old suspect has been arrested and charged in a deadly shooting that occurred in October, which claimed the life of a 16-year-old and injured another.
The incident began on October 6, 2024, shortly after 12:45 a.m., when officers were called to a shooting on I-244 near Yale Avenue.
Upon arrival, they discovered a gray SUV riddled with bullet holes and shattered windows. Investigators determined that seven people were inside the vehicle at the time of the shooting.
Two occupants of the vehicle suffered gunshot wounds.
One victim, 16-year-old Ja’Tycie Williams, sustained critical injuries and succumbed to them several weeks later. The other victim suffered a minor gunshot wound to the arm and survived.
Preliminary investigations revealed the incident was linked to a fight at the Tulsa State Fair earlier that evening.
Witnesses reported that the altercation, which occurred as the group was leaving the fairgrounds, likely escalated into the highway shooting.
Following an in-depth investigation, Tulsa Police Homicide Detectives identified 18-year-old Kyler Naely as the suspect responsible for the shooting.
On November 19, 2024, Naely was arrested, charged with first-degree murder, and booked into the Tulsa County Jail.
Authorities emphasize that the case remains under investigation and are urging anyone with additional information to contact Tulsa Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS. Callers can remain anonymous.
