After a fireworks explosion in Esparto killed seven men last summer, their families stood in a Woodland courtroom on April 16 and, for the first time, told a judge what they have carried since that day. In emotional statements during a bail hearing, relatives described lives cut short and families left to navigate daily loss, urging Yolo Superior Court Judge Daniel McGuire to keep the defendants in custody as the case moves toward trial. The explosion killed seven people: Jesús Ramos, 18; Jhony Ramos, 22; Joel “Junior” Melendez, 28; Carlos Rodriguez-Mora, 43; Angel Mathew Voller, 18; Christopher Bocog, 45; and Neil Li, 41. They were remembered as fathers, sons and providers whose absence continues to shape their families’ lives.
