Ramon Ramirez was just starting his day, filling up his A. Duie Pyle truck with gas at the Wawa in Upper Macungie Township. His next stop would have likely been to one of the company’s truck terminals to pick up a trailer.

Ramirez, a truck driver for logistics provider A. Duie Pyle for the last 18 months, was fatally shot by 45-year-old Za Uk Lian, of South Whitehall Township, just before 5 a.m. Wednesday in the Wawa lot on Schantz Road.
