CORPUS CHRISTI DOCTOR ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT
ARRESTED IN EL SALVADOR; RETURNED TO THE US
US Marshals, Law Enforcement Partners Help Bring Doctor-Turn-Fugitive to Justice

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — On May 31, U.S. Marshals and Texas authorities took custody of fugitive Jaime Sandoval, after he was located and arrested in El Salvador on May 16.
Sandoval is facing a charge of suspicion of sexual assault and for violating his bond conditions in Nueces County, Texas. He allegedly committed the sexual assault while practicing as a medical doctor in Corpus Christi.
Sandoval was to appear in court May 2, but he did not show up. Authorities issued an arrest warrant for the doctor-turn-fugitive on May 3. The Nueces County Sheriff’s Office then asked the U.S. Marshals-led Gulf Coast Violent Offender and Fugitive Task Force to assist in the manhunt.
The fugitive investigation for Sandoval gained momentum when authorities received a tip that led them to believe he was in San Salvador, El Salvador. U.S. Marshals coordinated with in-country authorities, who were able to locate and arrest Sandoval on May 16.
Sandoval is now in custody in the U.S. with no bond, awaiting extradition to Nueces County.
“The key to this case was teamwork, said Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Norm Merkel of the Southern District of Texas. “By local, federal, and international partners working together, we got the job done.”

Date:  Monday, May 21, 2018 12:21 PM
Location: Up River Rd/ Palm Dr
Incident:  Aggravated Assault with Deadly Weapon
Incident Number:  1805210071

At approximately 12:21 PM officers were dispatched to a call for shots fired.  After units arrived in the area, officers determined that a shooting had taken place at the intersection of Up River Rd/ Palm Drive.

Officers determined that gunshots were fired from a small black passenger car into another passenger car, striking one of the occupants.  The male who sustained a gun shot wound was transported to Spohn Shoreline for follow-up care and is said to be in stable condition at this time.

This shooting was not a random act and officers have identified a suspect by name.  No one is in custody at the time of this posting.

This is still an active investigation and no other information is available at this time.  If you have any information about this crime please call Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS or submit the information online at cctexas.com/crimestoppers.

At approximately 2:30 pm on Wednesday, May 17, 2018, Officers were dispatched to a day care center located on Everhart Rd for a welfare call. Updates to the call provided that an intoxicated subject had arrived at the day care in an effort to pick up his infant child.  Day care employees advised that the male walked into the classroom and picked up the infant child and attempted to leave.  Day care employees observed that the male appeared to be under the influence and attempted to keep the child at the day care by attempting to distract the male while Police were called.  The Father left the day care with the child, while employees provided information to Dispatch.

Upon arrival at the day care, officers gathered information from the workers which would prove helpful in locating the Father.  Officers searched the area and followed up at the residence where the vehicle returned to.  Once at the home, Officers discovered that the infant child was inside of the vehicle, which was off and locked.  Officers noted that the infant was secured in the car seat, crying and sweating heavily.  Officers immediately broke the window in an effort to rescue the infant.  Medics arrived on scene shortly after and immediately transported the infant to Driscoll Children’s Hospital for follow-up care.

Officers attempted to make contact with the Father who they were able to observe asleep on a couch inside of the home. Officers were able to eventually wake up the male after several attempts of knocking on the door. When questioned about the infant, the male advised that the infant was inside of the bedroom in a crib and then later advised that the child was with the Mother.

Officers advised that the male appeared to be under the influence of an intoxicating beverage and after several standardized field sobriety tests were completed, the male was placed in custody.

Officers arrested Brian Raburn (11/19/1975) and charged him with Abandoning/Endangering a Child Imminent Danger Bodily Injury (2F) and Driving while Intoxicated with Child (SJF).

S/O Steven Moran and S/O Arnold Guerra are commended for their follow-up in locating this child.  Without their thorough investigation on this call, the child may have suffered serious bodily injury or death.

The child was transported to Driscoll Children’s Hospital and left in the care of emergency staff.

On May 09, 2018, the Corpus Christi Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Organized Crime Unit Detectives and Agents with the Department of Homeland Security Investigations executed a search warrant at the residence of Jesus Ramirez (09/19/1991).

Ramirez was booked on the same date at the Nueces County Jail on two warrants for online solicitation of a minor and production of child pornography, with a total bond amount of $200,000.  On the date of arrest, he was additionally charged with possession of marijuana, with a bond amount of $500.00.

Detectives with the Internet Crimes Against Children have identified four separate juvenile victims through their investigation.  Ramirez is accused of conversing via internet with minors and blackmailing them into sending images of child pornography in addition to soliciting them to meet him for sex.

It was reported to Investigators that Jesus Ramirez was identifying himself on social media with several aliases to include; Justin Ramos, Travis Gallegos and Adrian Soto, along with the use of fake profile pictures.  It appears that none of the victims knew of his true identity.  This investigation is still active and ongoing and there exists the possibility of additional victims that have yet to come forward.  Anybody with information concerning this case is encouraged to call the lead Investigator, Senior Officer Alicia Escobar at (361) 826-2996.

 We want to urge parents to speak to their children about internet safety.

• Create and set clear rules for your child and enforce those rules.
• Know about privacy settings and ensure that your child uses them.
• Speak to your child about the danger of befriending those that they do not know.
• Contact law enforcement if the child reports being solicited, threatened, stalked, or if a person requests to meet the child in person.
• Ensure that the child does not give out any personal information about themselves, whether it be identifying information or personality traits.
