SAN ANGELO, TX – On Monday, Oct. 5, an officer with the San Angelo Police Department was dispatched to the Motel 6 off N Bryant Blvd following the report of a fight in progress.
When the responding officer arrived on scene he made contact with the victim in the Motel 6 parking lot with visible injuries to his face, who stated he was assaulted by two other male subjects.
According to the report, the officer learned that cameras from the motel's security system captured the assault, so the footage was collected for observation.
In the footage the officer observed the Defendant, identified as Joseph Ramirez, and one other individual engaged in a verbal altercation in the motel's parking lot with the victim.
Investigators say the second individual was then seen pulling the victim out of his vehicle and attempting to physically harm him.
Then, as the victim attempts to retreat to his vehicle, Ramirez is observed exhibiting a black handgun, running up to the victim's driver-side window, and striking the victim in the face with the 'butt' of the firearm.
