CHULA VISTA – A 77-year-old woman was killed in her Chula Vista home Saturday night and her son was arrested in connection with her death, police said. Preliminary reports show she was stabbed.
The victim was identified as Francisca Ramos, said Chula Vista police Lt. Scott Arsenault. Her son, George Ramos, 42, was taken into custody.
The woman's daughter called police about 5:45 p.m. and said her mother was dead and that her brother was alone inside the home on Tamarack Court near Olive Avenue, Arsenault said. She told police several distraught family members were standing outside.
Arsenault said George Ramos has a history of violence toward police and his family, including his father, and was involved in an elder abuse case in 2005. He also has a history of alcohol and drug abuse, Arsenault said.
George Ramos was trying to leave the property when police took him into custody, Arsenault said. The city's Crimes and Violence Unit is investigating.
