Police arrived but didn’t spot obvious signs of a crime and left. Prosecutors say the next day a woman in the building reported finding human remains in the suitcase.
Prosecutors say Ramos-Ramos stabbed Venegas-Ramos multiple times and attempted to completely dismember him.
Ramos-Ramos’ brother confirmed that the suitcase belonged to them and police used fingerprints on the body to match it with Venegas-Ramos.
Court documents say Ramos-Ramos in interviews denied knowing Venegas-Ramos.
He’s being held on $2 million bail.
