A man accused of shooting his girlfriend to death posted to social media days after the alleged crime while the woman was still missing, pleading for her safe return.

Ishemer Ramsey, 21, of Lyndora is charged with homicide and tampering with physical evidence after he was accused of fatally shooting his girlfriend, Melissa Barto, in his car on June 8.

Ramsey is also accused of transporting her body to rural Lawrence County and setting it on fire.

Barto's family shared several social media posts asking for information on her whereabouts, while at the same time on Ramsey's Facebook page, several posts were made on June 9 and 10, regarding her disappearance.

Those posts included:

“Anybody seen or heard from Missy Barto? We're all worried about you. Share please,” on June 9;

“Any word on Mellissa yet? (Missy Barto)” on June 10; and

“Missy Barto. Just come home ... Whatever is going on there's way to many of us trying to help for you to not let us. 'I got your six. It's not just you or me we got a team now' remember that? Please come home ... You know who you love more than anyone. She needs you.”

Ramsey was later arrested and charged on June 11.

His Facebook page also states that he previously worked as a counselor for a local private residential school for court-adjudicated youth, was a Marine Corps Reservist, and studied criminology at a local community college.

The page states that he worked at Summit Academy as a counselor and football coach. Dick Roberts, spokesman for Summit Academy, confirmed that Ramsey was a staff member for four months and his last day was the day before the alleged crime, June 7.

“He was a Marine Corps veteran who passed all the required background and clearance checks,” Roberts said. “There was nothing that would prevent him from employment with Summit.”

While he declined to further comment because of the active investigation into Ramsey, Roberts did say that this was “a sad tragic event and our sympathies go out to Ms. Barto's family.”

On Ramsey's Facebook page he also refers to himself as “Rambo” and that he has been in the Marine Corps since 2016.

Ramsey was listed on active duty between April 4, 2016, and Oct. 14, 2016, with the Marine Corps Reserve, according to a status report pursuant to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act provided by the Department of Defense Manpower Data Center, which reports active duty service personnel.

No further information regarding his military career was available through the Marines and Reserve offices.

Ramsey's Facebook page also states that he studied criminology and psychology at Butler County Community College since 2015. Bill Foley, interim coordinator of communications for the college confirmed that Ramsey was a former student who was enrolled earlier in the spring. He declined to comment further.

Ramsey's Facebook page also states that he is a graduate of Butler Senior High School. Calls to the school went unanswered Tuesday, but according to previous Butler Eagle reports, Ramsey was a student at the school at one time, and had been involved in the prom court in 2014.

Ramsey also has a short criminal history, including traffic violations from Nov. 14, 2015, and March 22, 2017.

He was also charged by Butler police with felony fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement, misdemeanor resisting arrest and two summary traffic violations after an incident on Feb. 19.

The felony and misdemeanor charges were withdrawn and the summary charges were moved to traffic court during a preliminary hearing on March 6 before District Judge William Fullerton.

He was arraigned on Feb. 20 and released from the Butler County Prison the same day, after posting $25,000 bail.

Those charges came as a result of a motorcycle chase that involved several officers. Police said a motorcycle was seen driving erratically, and when an officer attempted to pull the vehicle over, it sped off, running red lights.

Ramsey was identified as the driver of the vehicle after several officers had to box his vehicle in by several patrol cars, before they had to forcibly take him off the vehicle and onto the ground.

Police said a cruiser was damaged in the incident when the motorcycle fell onto it.

In the homicide case, court records list his attorney as Rodney Blaine Jones II, of Pittsburgh, who did not respond to calls for comment Tuesday.

Ramsey continues to be held in the Butler County Prison after bail was denied.
