A tragic incident has led to the arrest of a Florida man, accused of fatally stabbing his pregnant wife, as reported by local law enforcement.

Mario Alejandro Ramirez, aged 37, faces charges of murder under the category of dangerous and depraved acts without premeditation, according to records from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.

The fatal event took place shortly after midnight on Tuesday, inside a first-floor apartment located on Northeast 41st Street in Oakland Park. This city is situated just a few miles north of Fort Lauderdale.

During the violent episode, several 911 calls were made, as captured in audio recordings obtained by WPLG, an independent TV station based in Miami.

In one of these calls, Ramirez himself reportedly informed dispatchers about the presence of three children in the apartment while the “domestic dispute” escalated into violence, according to authorities.

A subsequent call at approximately 12:55 a.m. reported the stabbing incident.

Deputies encountered Ramirez at the apartment and struggled with him while trying to apply pressure to stanch the bleeding from an apparently self-inflicted injury, according to the sheriff’s office.

Inside, fire rescue crews found Fayanni Ramirez, whose age has not been released as of this writing, suffering from multiple stab wounds. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene of the crime.

Investigators quickly confirmed the woman was pregnant and lived in the apartment with her three other children.

“It sounded like furniture, like hitting, and there was a lot of screaming,” one neighbor previously told the local TV station.

Another neighbor walking past the site of the fatal stabbing said: “They opened the door and then when I walked back, like to go home, I see, like, a body laying on the floor…apparently somebody got stabbed in the neck.”

In gruesome news footage of the unit taken from the outside, a splotch of a red substance appears to be dripping from a window.

At the time of the slaying, the victim had an active restraining order out against the defendant, according to law enforcement.

On Friday, Ramirez appeared in court for a bond hearing. He is represented by a public defender, Broward County records show.

The defendant is currently being detained in the Broward Main Jail without bond, WPLG reported. During the bond hearing, the judge also reportedly ordered medical and mental health evaluations.

Ramirez is also on an immigration-related detainer hold, according to the TV station.

The motive for the woman’s death remains unclear, prosecutors said.
