BRONX MAN SENTENCED TO 63 YEARS TO LIFE IN PRISON FOR STABBING THREE PEOPLE, TWO OF THEM FATALLY

 

Defendant Was Found Guilty of Murder and Attempted Murder; Butchered His Father and Ex-Girlfriend, Left his Brother Wounded for Life

 Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a Bronx man has been sentenced to 63 years to life in prison for a vicious stabbing spree that left his father and exgirlfriend dead and his brother with catastrophic wounds.

 District Attorney Clark said, “The defendant stabbed his father and brother numerous times during a dispute and then went to the home of his former girlfriend and stabbed her 47 times. The brother still resides in a rehabilitation center over three years later, but he came to court to powerfully testify at the trial. Now the defendant will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.”

 District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Jean Carlo Jimenez, 33, of 2138 Gleason Avenue, was sentenced today to 25 years to life in prison for second-degree Murder, 20 years for Attempted Murder, and 18 years for Attempted Murder, to run consecutively, by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Marsha Michael. The defendant was convicted of these charges as well as fourthdegree Criminal Possession of a Weapon after a six-week jury trial.

 According to the investigation, on March 1, 2020, at approximately 7:10 p.m., inside 2138 Gleason Avenue, the Bronx, the defendant stabbed his father, Ramon Emilio Jimenez, Sr., 60, and brother, Ramon Emilio Jimenez Jr., 38, numerous times causing catastrophic injuries to both during a dispute over trying to get his girlfriend back. The defendant then walked to 2004 Ellis Avenue where at about 7:30 p.m. he stabbed Mercy Capacette, 29, approximately 47 times and caused about 21 incised wounds to her body. Witnesses to the stabbing testified that the defendant had a knife in each hand. Capacette died of her injuries that night. Ramon, Sr. died of his injuries on April 16, 2020. (Ramon, Sr. was still alive at the time of the original indictment therefore the defendant was not charged with his murder.) Ramon, Jr., lost his right eye and is paralyzed on his left side.

 District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detective Randy Delanuez, retired Detectives Daniel Smith and Christine Reyes Casilla for their work in the investigation and Parkchester Public Safety for their assistance.
