A Long Island man fatally stabbed his mom on Christmas Eve while she made dinner at their Massapequa home, according to police.
Jeremy Ramirez, 27, was booked Saturday in the horrific holiday slaying.
“On this particular evening, it was just him and his mother at the house, Jeremy and his mom. Mom was making some food for dinner,” said Detective Sgt. Stephen Fitzpatrick of the Nassau County Homicide Squad at a press briefing Saturday, NBC-TV News in New York reported.
“He stabbed her multiple times and is observed discarding the knife outside the premise,” Fitzpatrick said. “Unknown what provoked him to attack his mother, but based on his history and his violent nature, anything could have set him off to make him attack his mother like that.”
Ramirez had just returned from a local laundromat when he flew into a rage at the home and repeatedly stabbed his mother — identified by cops as Josefina Ramirez Montero, 57 — in the chest and abdomen, according to the outlet.
Nassau County police said officers were dispatched to the home on Old Sunrise Highway and found the victim unresponsive in the living room. She was pronounced dead at the hospital, the department said.
Her son has a criminal record dating to 2018, including busts for assault and weapons possession charged stemming from a bat assault on a victim, the outlet said.
Most recently, he was released from jail in January after being jailed for attempted murder, robbery and gang assault that same year, they said.
