Moment top cop who shot himself in head is handcuffed by police during spat with wife

A video shows Alfredo ‘Freddy’ Ramirez, the director of the Miami-Dade police force, handcuffed during a heated argument with his wife when he threatened to ‘end it all’ – before shooting himself in the head hours later

A police chief was handcuffed by his colleagues during a blazing argument with his wife in which he threatened to “end it” before shooting himself in the head hours later, bodycam footage shows.

Alfredo ‘Freddy’ Ramirez, the director of the Miami-Dade police force, reportedly threatened to “end it all” during a heated argument with his spouse outside a downtown hotel on July 23. He later pulled over on the highway and pulled the trigger on himself.

Newly released bodycam footage provides a fresh look at the incident, which happened hours before Mr Ramirez stopped his vehicle, with his wife, Jody Ramirez, inside, and attempted suicide.

Jody Ramirez frantically called 911, and the police chief was rushed to hospital, where he underwent surgery. Last week, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said Alfredo Ramirez was in stable condition at the hospital. Police said Thursday that he remains in the Tampa area “and is making progress.”
