Man Threatened Juveniles With Gun In Parking Lot: Wallingford Police

WALLINGFORD, CT — A Waterbury man is accused of threatening two juveniles with a gun in a parking lot in Wallingford last month, according to police.

Police received two 911 calls on Dec. 28 from separate juvenile females, one of whom reported that a man had a gun and had threatened to kill her, according to Lt. Stephen Jaques.

Jaques said officers were immediately dispatched to the parking lot at 1094 North Colony Road.

Officers found that the suspect had fled the area before police arrived.

The victim told police that while she and another juvenile female were seated in their vehicle, a man pulled in front of them in a separate vehicle and pointed a gun at them, according to Jaques.

“The victims immediately contacted 911 and drove away from the area to avoid further confrontation,” Jaques wrote in a news release. “The suspect was wearing a mask at the time of the incident. The investigation revealed that the incident stemmed from a minor verbal altercation between the victims and the suspect.”

Following an extensive investigation, Jaques said 28-year-old Ajay Ramirez of Waterbury was identified as the suspect, and an arrest warrant was obtained.

Ramirez was arrested Jan. 19 and charged with second-degree breach of peace, first-degree threatening, and risk of injury to a minor. He was released after posting a $25,000 bond with a court date of Feb. 6.
