On Friday, May 13, 2022, at approximately 1:43 pm, Deputies from the Palm Desert Sheriff’s Station were notified of a suspect with an outstanding violation of Parole warrant, and considered armed and dangerous. A high-risk vehicle stop was attempted in the city of Rancho Mirage. The suspect vehicle fled from law enforcement and a vehicle pursuit was authorized based on the severity of the offenses associated with the suspect. The suspect vehicle crashed and came to rest in the area of Oasis Club Drive and Country Club Drive. The outstanding suspect jumped the wall into a neighboring community, where he hid inside a nearby residence.
A perimeter was established, and additional resources were summoned to the scene. Several residences were searched to ensure the safety of the community and to bring this incident to a peaceful resolution. The suspect was safely apprehended without incident in the 100 block of Azzuro Drive. An additional occupant of the residence was also safely taken into custody for knowingly harboring a fugitive. Daniel Ramirez, a 36-year-old resident of Thermal, and Saliba Deeb, a 29-year-old resident of Palm Desert, were arrested and booked into the John Benoit Detention Center in the city of Indio.
