Jimenez had turned himself in Saturday, a day after the Los Angeles Police Department said officers were searching for him in the death of Maria Josefina Jimenez, 22, who was not related to the suspect.
The victim, who police said went by “Josie,” died after she fell from a wildly careening car early Aug. 29 in Sylmar, according to the LAPD. A driver stopped to try to help Jimenez, but she was hit by passing vehicles multiple times even as the car in which she had traveled drove away, police said.

The victim, identified in the prosecutor’s charging document at “Maria J.,” and the suspect were “in a dating relationship,” according to the DA’s office. The two had had an argument at a tattoo parlor just before the incident, the LAPD had said

“We have multiple sources who have come forward, putting Rick and Josie at a local tattoo parlor before midnight, with Rick causing a disturbance and berating Josie in front of others,” Lt. Paul Vernon said in a news release issued Aug. 30. “We know Rick was driving Josie’s red Toyota Corolla when the two left the parlor.”
A “key factor” in the arrest of Ricardo Jimenez for the alleged murder was the “amount of blood present on the passenger side” of the car, the LAPD’s Mission Station said on Twitter Saturday.

The criminal complaint against the suspect includes the special allegation that he used a knife, according to the DA’s office.

Prosecutors recommended that bail be set at at least $1 million.

That annoys me. What difference does it make how many tattoos she has? Why not just say the victim?

Maybe to explain why they were in a tattoo parlor? I personally just got tattoo number 22 so I could give a shit how many people have.

I don't know, maybe I have more common sense then most people but I tend to assume you're getting a tattoo if you go to a tattoo parlor

It took me over a year to figure out how to post an avatar and then they went and changed the forums on me. I am very technologically challenged.

Maria “Josie” Jimenez

"Ricardo Jimenez of North Hollywood...sentenced... to 16 years to life in state prison." in 2015.

He tried to appeal in 2017. Declined.

"The physical evidence showed that he repeatedly stabbed his 22-year-old girlfriend, causing 14 incise wounds to her hands and two to her upper back, the justices noted."

"The justices noted that Jimenez had displayed a knife while at a tattoo parlor with his girlfriend, and that three people at the business collectively testified that her boyfriend was belligerent, using profanity toward her and insulting her while she remained nonviolent and calm."
