The accused faces special circumstance allegations that could make him eligible for the death penalty, according to a criminal complaint filed in Sacramento County Superior Court.
Adel Sambrano Ramos, 45, is facing murder, attempted murder and illegal firearm charges in connection with a shooting that killed a Sacramento police officer.
Authorities say Ramos ambushed O’Sullivan, 26, and several other officers who responded to a domestic disturbance call at a house at 5:40 p.m. Wednesday in the 200 block of Redwood Avenue. “Police Department,” the officer calls out. “If you’re in here, let me know. You’re not in trouble, dude.” “This is a high-powered rifle. Get out here now,” the officer says. “We’ve got one down. ... Officer down! Officer down!”
As officers were backing out of the yard, the armored vehicle broke down, and several of O’Sullivan’s colleagues had to carry her to a police car to take her to the hospital, police said.
