Suspect in Bryan Stow beating held on $1M bail

One of the men suspected of beating a Giants fan nearly to death at Dodger Stadium is off the streets Monday morning.

Police arrested 31-year-old Giovanni Ramirez in an east Hollywood apartment after serving two search warrants. Police believe that Ramirez was the main aggressor in the attack against Bryan Stow.

Detectives and SWAT raided the apartment early Sunday morning. Several people were detained for questioning along with Ramirez.

Police had been working on this case for 6,000 hours and received over 600 leads. They said that they got the break that they needed from a tip from a parole officer.

A sketch of Ramirez and another suspect were plastered on billboards around Los Angeles. That other suspect is still at large, as is the woman police say was driving the getaway vehicle.

Stow remains in critical condition seven weeks after the attack. His sister Bonnie Stow said that he is able to open his eyes and has not had any seizures, but Stow is still in a coma.

Stow was transported last week from L.A. County USC Medical Center to San Francisco General Hospital.
