SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — A man was accused of attempted murder after police said he admitted to having homicidal thoughts and injuring a woman with the intent of putting “her out of her misery.”

Jesus Alejandro Ramirez-Padilla, 30, was arrested in Salt Lake City, facing attempted murder and aggravated assault charges.

Officers with the Salt Lake City Police Department responded to a report of a woman crying in an alley near 2525 South 500 East on Wednesday. They arrived at the scene and found the woman bleeding, with a deep cut along her neck, according to the probable cause statement.

“Officers used a homeowner’s camera nearby to identify a suspect. They said the camera captured two people walking in the area before they left the camera’s view. The camera then captured the suspect fleeing the scene and the victim struggling to stand, according to documents.” KUTV News Reported.

Authorities found Ramirez-Padilla with blood stains on his pants and hands.

During his interview with the police, he confessed to strangling and slashing the woman’s throat numerous times. He allegedly claimed that he had an altered state of mind because of drugs.

Authorities said that Ramirez-Padilla met her the night before to use drugs together. He was alleged to have said that he slashed her throat to “put her out of her misery.” This was according to what the authorities wrote in the court documents.

He was arrested and has been in the Salt Lake County Jail since Wednesday.

Ramirez-Padilla is likely an illegal alien. Border Hawk is awaiting a response from the Department of Homeland Security.
