Edgar Ramos-Garcia: Key Arrest Details in Colorado Homicide Case

PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. — A chilling homicide investigation has led to the arrest of Edgar Ramos-Garcia, a 47-year-old man from South Gate, California, who is now charged with second-degree murder in the brutal killing of Jadyra Perez, 45. Her body was discovered early Thursday morning, December 5, 2025, inside a vehicle abandoned on Piñon Road in rural southern Pueblo County.

Victim Identified as Jadyra Perez

The Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) confirmed that Perez died from multiple stab wounds, with an autopsy revealing more than 30 penetrating injuries and signs of a violent struggle.

Key Evidence Linking Suspect to the Murder

Investigators rapidly tied Ramos-Garcia to the crime using a combination of:

• Footprints in the snow matching his shoes
• Blood trails near the vehicle
• A knife with hair, flesh, and blood found in his possession
• Witness accounts describing violence
• Security footage placing him with the victim shortly before her death

Ramos-Garcia is currently being held at the Pueblo County Jail on a $1 million bond, with a court appearance set for December 11, 2025.

Incident Background: From Disturbing Calls to Tragic Discovery

The case began unfolding on December 4, 2025, when Ramos-Garcia made two unusual calls to local authorities.

First Call – 8:40 p.m.

He claimed Perez was “setting him up” and had tampered with the window of his Chevy Tahoe. He said they had been staying together at a hotel.

Second Call – 11:26 p.m.

Deputies responded to a remote stretch of Burnt Mill Road after Ramos-Garcia phoned again, speaking incoherently. They found him with scratches on his face, blood on his jacket, and a knife coated with biological material. Although deputies noted these red flags, no crime scene had yet been discovered.

During questioning at the sheriff’s annex, Ramos-Garcia gave investigators a disjointed story involving an abduction, a refrigerator, and claims that Perez was trying to frame him—details that conflicted with the emerging evidence.

The Turning Point: Body Found on Piñon Road

At around 2 a.m. on December 5, Beulah Fire Chief Bryan Ware located Perez’s body inside her white Toyota Camry, just half a mile from where deputies had spoken with Ramos-Garcia earlier.

Key observations from the scene included:

• Blood stains in the snow
• “Feminine-looking” glasses discarded nearby
• Multiple sets of footprints, including one matching Ramos-Garcia
• Signs of an intense physical altercation

Security footage from the Loaf N Jug convenience store confirmed that Perez and Ramos-Garcia left together in her Camry around 9 p.m. on December 4.

A critical witness — the father of Perez’s children — told authorities he received a call from her around 9:30 p.m. and overheard sounds of a struggle and Ramos-Garcia yelling before the call abruptly ended.

Investigation and Arrest

Based on accumulating physical evidence, video confirmation, and witness testimony, PCSO detectives quickly secured an arrest warrant. Ramos-Garcia was formally booked on second-degree murder, which in Colorado involves knowingly causing a person's death without premeditation — a charge that can carry up to 48 years in prison.

Authorities say the investigation is ongoing, and while Ramos-Garcia and Perez appeared to know each other, the exact details of their relationship have not been publicly confirmed.

Timeline of Key Events

Community Impact and Ongoing Investigation

The homicide has shocked residents of rural Pueblo County, where violent crimes of this nature are uncommon. PCSO urges anyone with additional information to come forward as detectives continue piecing together the full circumstances of Perez’s final hours.

The case remains active as prosecutors prepare for Ramos-Garcia’s first court appearance.
