Victim's family may have moved him out of the country

By Jeff Waters, Democrat Reporter The Suwannee Democrat Wed Jul 01, 2009, 04:15 PM EDT

The Live Oak man who lay in a coma after being injured during a May robbery appears to have been moved by family members to a hospital in Mexico, according to LOPD Det. Sgt. Ron Shaw. Meanwhile the culprit or culprits remain at large.

Francisco Ramirez, 31, of 166 Horizon Circle was talking on his cell phone in the front of his residence around 10:45 p.m. May 22 when an unknown person or persons struck him in the head with what Shaw said could be a heavy stick or bat.

Ramirez awoke from his coma but had remained hospitalized in Gainesville in critical condition.

"Last word was they were moving him back home and was going to put him in a hospital there," said Shaw. "At this point in time he's not going to be able to help us with the investigation."
