On December 23, 2025, Mario Alejandro Ramirez, 37, allegedly stabbed his pregnant wife, Fayanni Ramirez, to death in their first-floor apartment on Northeast 41st Street in Oakland Park, Florida, a city north of Fort Lauderdale. The Broward Sheriff’s Office responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a domestic dispute around 12:55 a.m., finding her with multiple stab wounds; she was pronounced dead at the scene despite emergency efforts.​
Incident Details
Deputies encountered Ramirez inside, struggling to control him while applying pressure to his apparent self-inflicted injury before arresting him and transporting him to Broward Health Medical Center. Neighbors reported hearing furniture crashing, intense screaming, and saw blood dripping from a window, with one witnessing a body on the floor. Three children were present in the apartment, and Fayanni had an active restraining order against Ramirez at the time.​
Legal Status
Ramirez faces one count of second-degree murder (described as dangerous and depraved without premeditation) and is held without bond at Broward Main Jail, represented by a public defender. During his Friday bond hearing, a judge ordered medical and mental health evaluations; he is also under an immigration detainer hold. Prosecutors state the motive remains unclear as the investigation continues.
