Alex Andrews, who lives in Athen, was shot, and Ramon Nieves is the main person of interest. After the court process, many people are still not sure if he is guilty or not.
Nieves is a former student at Ohio University and the main suspect in the shooting on January 19, 2017. In particular, he was taken into custody in Columbus because of a shooting that happened in January 2017.
Also, after he was caught in 2017, the U.S. Marshal put him in the Franklin County Jail. The main investigation shows that a random person shot Alex Andrews, an Athen resident, through his kitchen window and hurt him.
In January 2017, the officer who looked into the case charged him with felony assault. Andrews also lost sight in his left eye because birdshot and buckshot from the gun hit his face, neck, chest, and stomach.
After the shooting, Andrews had to have two surgeries. On the other hand, the officer who was looking into the case said he was involved.
Where is Athens, Ohio’s Ramon Nieves now?
At this time, Ramon Nieves has been living at his home in Akron while being watched by the authority. He can’t leave where he is without telling the court first.
Also, he has to go to court whenever the judge wants to talk to him about the shooting in 2017.
But his defense lawyer filed a motion to let him leave his home to go to a Cambridge hospital for medical appointments. In the meantime, many people wonder if he is still in jail.
In 2019, the grand jury gave Ramon a lot of rules and put him under house arrest. Also, he was brought before the Athen County Grand Jury a second time on charges of tampering with evidence and vandalism.
Ramon Nieves: Guilty or Not Guilty of Shooting and Jail?
In October 2019, Ramon Nieves pleaded not guilty to a charge of second-degree felony assault related to the shooting in 2017. Ramon also paid the original $100,000 bond, of which he was allowed to pay 10% with many rules.
Also, Judge Patrick Lang gave him house arrest in Akron by putting an ankle bracelet on him. On the other hand, the Athens County Grand Jury called him on July 30, 2020, to answer to the charge of tampering with evidence, which is a fifth-degree felony.
Due to the above charge and a tamper alert from his ankle monitor on June 12, 2020, the judge set his bond at $150,000 and said he couldn’t pay 10% of it.
Family and wife information about Ramon Nieves
People on the Internet still don’t know who Ramon Nieves’s wife is, because the government hasn’t released any family information to the public in the years since.
Most of the time, Ramon doesn’t want people to know about his family. As of 2022, he is 28 years old, so many people think he may not be married. But there is no reliable source to back up the above claim.
He is said to live with his family at his house in Akron at the moment. But information about his family members has not yet been put on the web.
