Van Ormy, TX: Argument Between Couple Ends In Fatal Stabbing

Beatrice Ibanez Expected To Be Charged In Slaying Of Alfredo Ramirez

VAN ORMY, Texas -- Murder charges were pending Friday against a 42-year-old woman in connection with the fatal stabbing of her 46-year-old boyfriend, Bexar County sheriff's officials said.
Sheriff's officials said Beatrice Ibanez and Alfredo "Fred" Ramirez had been arguing all day Thursday at a home on the 13400 block of Quintana when the fight took a deadly turn when the woman stabbed her boyfriend twice in chest with a kitchen knife.
Ibanez's neighbor, Ana Gonzales, said that Ibanez showed up at her door crying, "He's dead, he's dead. I stabbed him."
"I go, 'You did what?" Gonzales said. "She said, 'I stabbed him.'"
Gonzales said she then to Ibanez's home and found Ramirez on the couch.
"He was just like, slumped," Gonzales said. "I mean, to me, he was asleep. I mean, I didn't think he was dead, and he had two cuts here on the side. But there was no blood coming out."
Gonzales said she called 911 and tried to perform CPR on Ramirez, but he was already dead.
Sheriff's officials said Ibanez had several bruises and possibly a broken jaw and was transported to University Hospital. Despite Ibanez's injuries, sheriff's officials said they do not believe the incident was a case of self-defense and plan to charge her with murder.
"At the time of the stabbing, we believe that she may not have been defending herself," said Sgt. Raymond Pollard of the Bexar County Sheriff's Office. "She became aggressive."
Sheriff's officials said Ibanez and Ramirez had been arrested before for domestic violence.
