U.S. Marshals in Puerto Rico Arrest Florida Fugitive

San Juan, PR – The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) Puerto Rico Violent Offenders Task Force, working with the USMS Florida Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force Orlando Division, Sept. 5 arrested a man wanted by the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office in Florida for a premeditated murder stemming from a shooting incident Aug. 24 in Kissimmee, Florida.

Jordany Ramos-Oliveras, 24, was arrested without incident in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico.

Oliveras is suspected of killing Onix Camacho Ramirez, who was shot in the head during a fight with another man, identified as Kevin Ortega, who fled the scene with Ramos-Oliveras.  Ramirez was declared dead at a local hospital Aug. 25. Three other people with gunshot wounds were also treated at local hospitals, but none of their injuries were life threatening.

“This arrest is a great example of the strategic and collaborative efforts of the Puerto Rico and Florida U.S. Marshals task forces working with our partners from the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office and the Puerto Rico Police Bureau,” said Wilmer Ocasio-Ibarra, U.S. Marshal for the District of Puerto Rico. “This arrest was done in record time thanks to a collateral lead from our Florida task force. In the U.S. Marshals Service, we will not stop until we find all those individuals who think they can hide on our island to evade justice. We will not allow terror, violence and impunity to take over our communities. Our commitment to our citizens comes first and we will allocate all necessary resources to make our communities safe.” 

The USMS encourages the public to continue to collaborate with our deputies with tips that help find the whereabouts of a fugitive by contacting our local office at (787) 766-6297, calling the U.S. Marshals Service Communication Center at 1-800-336-0102, or providing information via the U.S. Marshals Service Tips app.

The Florida Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force (FCRFTF) has experience in conducting complex, long- and short-term investigations utilizing all resources made available through partnerships with multiple law enforcement agencies. The task force’s longstanding success in the apprehension and prosecution of violent organized crime/gang members by FCRFTF personnel further enforces the positive relationship with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Puerto Rico Department of Justice Office commitment to combat organized crime gang related violence in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
