An MS-13 gang member wanted for murder was arrested in Colorado on Friday after he allegedly stabbed a woman with a screwdriver and ran over her leg, police said.
Angel Ramos, 36, an illegal immigrant who was previously deported from the U.S., was taken into custody without incident Friday morning, FOX31 Denver reported. Ramos and a Fort Morgan woman were in a car on Nov. 4 when Ramos allegedly stabbed her with a screwdriver. The woman jumped out of the moving vehicle to escape Ramos, and the car ran over her leg, police said.
Ramos then tried to put the woman in the vehicle’s trunk before fleeing the scene, FOX31 Denver reported. He was captured after a nearly weeklong manhunt. Morgan County Sheriff’s Office officials believe the incident was a domestic violence case.
Investigators delved deeper into Ramos’ past and discovered he is a member of the notorious and vicious MS-13 gang and wanted for murder in El Salvador. It’s unclear when Ramos entered the U.S. and when he was deported.
