The circumstances that led to the shooting and whether it was accidental remained murky. But the news shocked people who know and work with Alfredo “Freddy” Ramirez, a highly regarded commander who had risen through the department ranks over the decades.
Alfredo “Freddy” Ramirez, a Democratic candidate for sheriff in the 2024 election, was recovering after surgery at a Tampa hospital, according to an internal Miami-Dade Police email and multiple law enforcement sources.
“It’s stunning. I’ve had a lot of interactions with him the last few weeks because he’s been on the campaign trail,” said Miami-Dade’s elected public defender Carlos Martinez. “He’s always been a happy-go-lucky professional guy. It’s stunning when you see something that doesn’t fit with what you see on a daily basis.”
“All that matters right now is Chief Ramirez’s well-being, and I join his family, his loved ones and all his Miami-Dade Police Department and Miami-Dade family in praying for his swift recovery,” Levin Cava said in a Twitter post. Once the couple were outside, Tampa Police said, someone called saying there was a man pointing a gun at himself. But police said by the time they arrived, Freddy and Jody Ramirez were upstairs in their 12th floor room. Police questioning them said Freddy Ramirez admitted arguing, but denied displaying a firearm.
“We’re completely shocked. I’ve been in law enforcement 39 years and I’ve never heard of anything like this remotely occurring,” said Lewis, the Wicomico County sheriff.
