John Ramos, a 30-year-old man, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole for shooting and killing his wife in their Broomfield apartment’s kitchen in September 2022. The incident took place at the Stonegate Apartments, where Ramos called 911 to report the shooting, claiming self-defense as his wife had been abusive. However, investigations revealed that he shot her three times with a pistol while she was making dinner, hitting her once in the forehead and twice in the neck. Ramos later admitted that his wife had not threatened him as he had claimed on the 911 call.
Following the trial that began on Oct. 14, a jury found Ramos guilty of first-degree murder, leading to his sentencing on Wednesday. District Attorney Brian Mason described the killing as a brutal act of domestic violence that resulted in the death of a loved one. He expressed gratitude to his team, law enforcement, and the jury for delivering a just verdict.
The case highlighted the tragic consequences of domestic violence and serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking help and support in such situations. The conviction of Ramos for the murder of his wife showcases the dedication of law enforcement in holding perpetrators accountable for their actions. It serves as a call to action to raise awareness about domestic violence and provide resources to those in need of assistance.
