A man from Mexico under an ICE hold accused of killing a pregnant South Carolina woman and her unborn child stabbed her repeatedly in front of her 8-year-old son, then confessed after he was caught in Charlotte, according to police testimony in court Wednesday.
Pedro Mondragon Ramirez, 41, is charged with murder and death of a child in utero after Leonor Alpizar, 37, died in the stabbing May 16 at a mobile home on Iris Circle. He was extradited to Rock Hill on Tuesday and faces up to life in prison if convicted.
The motive appears to be jealousy, testimony showed.
Mondrago-Ramirez admitted to police “he stabbed the victim over a male shirt he found inside the house,” Rock Hill Police Department detective Nathan Anderson said in Rock Hill Municipal Court Wednesday.
Alpizar was stabbed in the abdomen, chest and arms. Mondragon-Ramirez admitted he knew Alpizar was 7-months pregnant at the time of the killing, Anderson said.
