Suspect charged in connection with Ramos murder

A Fairfield man has been charged in connection with the murder of Denise Lissette Ramos, 22.

Julian Jefferson, 20, has been charged with capital murder. Jefferson, who is stationed at a naval base in California, is currently in federal custody on a charge for a crime unrelated to Ramos’ murder.

Ramos, also of Fairfield, did not show up to her job on March 28.

A welfare check performed by the Fairfield Police Department led to the residence of 800 Clark St., where Ramos’ body was found.

FPD worked with the Texas Rangers, DPS and NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Services) to uncover evidence that linked Jefferson to Ramos’ death.

He is awaiting extradition to Texas for his capital murder trial.
