CASE: Ismael Ramos (Case #25FE006736)
PROSECUTOR: Deputy District Attorney Jackson Hadden, Domestic Violence Unit
On September 16, 2026, Ismael Ramos was convicted by a jury of two counts of domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon, and making terrorist threats. The jury also found true great bodily injury allegations and a use of a deadly weapon allegation.
Ismael Ramos punched his partner in the face and strangled her with his hands twice until she lost consciousness both times. He then cut her face with a pocketknife and threatened to kill her then take his own life. The victim was able to calm Ramos down and escape to alert a neighbor to call the police. Responding officers detained Ramos and documented the victim’s injuries, which included bruising to her neck, cuts around her face, and a missing tooth.
Allegations that Ramos has prior strike convictions for robbery and dissuading or intimidating a witness or victim will be determined at the sentencing hearing.
Ramos faces a maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison. Sentencing is set for November 6, 2026, at 9:30 AM in Department 11C before the Honorable Deborah Lobre.
