The backstory:
Los Angeles Police Department investigators said 37 people were injured after a Nissan Versa slammed into the Vermont Hollywood nightclub on Saturday, July 19.
Ramirez is also accused of hitting a taco truck and valet stand.
The majority of people waiting in line were women, officials said.
After the crash, investigators said bystanders pulled Ramirez from the car and attacked him. While that was happening, Villalobos was accused of walking over and shooting Ramirez in the lower back. He then reportedly ran from the scene.
Ramirez, a San Clemente resident, has a lengthy criminal history, including at least 11 criminal cases ranging from misdemeanors to felonies and was on parole at the time of the crash, the Associated Press reported.
