Virginia “Ginger” Rickeman grew up in Massachusetts spending summers in Boothbay Harbor. After graduating from Masconomet Regional High School, she obtained a B.S. in biology from Northeastern University and a master’s degree in horticulture from the University of Minnesota.
Rev. Rickeman earned her Master of Divinity from United Theological Seminary in Minnesota. Ordained in the United Church of Christ, she served for 11 years as an associate minister at Plymouth Congregational Church in Minneapolis. Ginger then accepted a call to West Parish Congregational Church in Bethel, Maine, ministering there for nine years before retiring.
A happy, year-round resident of Boothbay Harbor, she shares a home with her best friend, Vicki. Rev. Rickeman loves visits with her sons and their families: Matthew, Becca and sons Jones, Greg and Kevin in
Westminster, Maryland; Thomas, Andrea and their children Eleanor and Henry in Tustin, California. Favorite activities include giving tours at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, ringing in her church bell choir, knitting, gardening, and reading mystery novels.
Denver police have arrested the man they believe was responsible for a fatal shooting on E. Virginia Avenue on Thursday afternoon.
According to an arrest affidavit, the Denver Dispatch Center received a 911 call around 12:35 p.m. to report a shooting in the 10100 block of E. Virginia Ave. The caller told dispatch workers that a white SUV was fleeing the scene.
Responding officers found a man who was critically wounded. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.
Investigators reportedly discovered a handgun, the victim’s cellphone and money in the area where the shooting happened. They also located surveillance footage in the area, which appeared to show the victim exiting a white Chevrolet Tahoe as gunshots could be heard. He walked to the east, looking for help, before collapsing on the ground.
The affidavit says a conversation was discovered on the victim’s Instagram account in which he was speaking with another person who was selling a firearm.
Aurora police assisted investigators using the Flock License Plate Reader system, identifying the Tahoe at several locations. Police said the vehicle had unique characteristics on the passenger rear wheel. The affidavit says that, before the shooting, the vehicle had a rear license plate, but after the shooting, it was missing.
Investigators found the vehicle, executed a search warrant and found a fired cartridge case in the back seat. A person connected to the case reportedly told officers that he drove his friend, later identified as Daniel Puga Villegas, to meet a person to collect money from him. However, he says an argument took place, and Villegas shot the victim, then ripped off his temporary rear license plate and, while still holding the gun, told him to drive.
Villegas was arrested on Sunday with assistance from the APD and is facing charges of first-degree murder.
