Man Arrested, Accused Of Stabbing Girlfriend 17 Times

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- A man accused of stabbing of his girlfriend 17 times in North Carolina on Christmas Day has been arrested in Flagstaff, according to U.S. Marshals.


Juan Carlos Ramirez faces a first-degree murder and two attempted murder charges in Greensboro.

After stabbing his girlfriend, April Caldwell, to death, Ramirez then tried to stab her two roommates as they attempted to intervene, according to the U.S. Marshals office.

Caldwell had broken up with Ramirez weeks before, but the arrangement apparently wasn't working for Ramirez, federal investigators said.


After Caldwell left her parent's house, police said Ramirez followed her to an apartment she shared with two men. Ramirez asked Caldwell's two roommates to leave so he could talk to April alone, according to investigators. The men and April agreed, but only for a few minutes, police said.

The men told authorities by the time they came back Ramirez had stabbed Caldwell several times, and the man turned on them as they tried to help. Everyone ran outside the apartment, the men away from Ramirez, Ramirez after the men, and the woman staggered to the ground.

On July 28, America's Most Wanted featured Ramirez on their program and within a week, police said they were closing in on Ramirez.

Authorities got a tip that Ramirez was in Union City, N.J., just over the bridge from Manhattan. An America's Most Wanted producer went along with Greensboro police detectives and members of the New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force as they hunted for Ramirez. They said they found his hide-out, but missed him by just a few days.

The investigation continued another couple months, leading investigators to Flagstaff. It was discovered that Ramirez had assumed a new identity as Miguel Sosa.

Under this name, Ramirez was working and living his life in hiding, U.S. Marshals said. He was residing in a town home with several other Hispanic men.

Surveillance confirmed that Ramirez was in fact living there, leading U.S. Marshal and Immigration and Customs Enforcement task force members to raid the home early Thursday morning. Ramirez and five illegal immigrants were arrested during the raid, police said.

"This case was made one of our highest priorities because of the violent nature of the crime alleged to be committed by Ramirez," said Case Deputy U.S. Marshal Bill Noble.

"Violent fugitives such as Ramirez are given the highest priority by the Marshals Service because of the potential to harm other innocent citizens while they remain at large," Noble said.
