Defendant Pleaded Guilty to Manslaughter
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a Bronx man was sentenced to 11 years in prison for fatally shooting a man during a dispute inside a bodega in the middle of the afternoon. Bronx
District Attorney Clark said, “The defendant and another man were in a dispute, and when the man tried to hit the defendant with a hammer, the defendant pulled a gun and shot the man in the chest. It was 3 p.m. inside a deli frequented by families, and this was a total disregard for life.”
Bronx District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Davel Ramos, 46, of 457 White Plains Road, was sentenced today to 11 years in prison and five years post release supervision by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Fabrizio. Ramos pleaded guilty on January 16, 2024, to first-degree Manslaughter.
According to the investigation, on September 5, 2021, at approximately 3:10 p.m. the defendant entered a bodega on White Plains Road and Nereid Avenue. Joseph Ramirez, 43, entered the bodega and got into an argument with the defendant. Ramirez then attempted to strike the victim while holding the head of a hammer. Ramos moved away from the victim, with the argument continuing, then pulled out a gun and shot Ramirez in the chest leading to his death.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detectives Sheldon Smith of Bronx Homicide and Brigette Medina of the 47 Precinct Squad for their work on the case.
