🚨 ARREST WARRANT ISSUED IN THE DEATH OF TOW OPERATOR ALEXANDER RAMOS 🚨

BLOOMFIELD, CONNECTICUT — A major development has been announced in the September 8 death of 26-year-old tow truck operator Alexander Ramos.

Bloomfield Police have issued an arrest warrant for 28-year-old Curran Melanson, the driver police say struck and killed Alexander while he was working on Tunxis Avenue.

According to police, the warrant includes charges of:

• Second-degree manslaughter
• Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
• Failure to reduce speed for a non-emergency vehicle

Bond has been set at $425,000.

Alexander was a tow operator who went to work that day expecting to do his job and return home.

He never got that chance.

This arrest warrant will not bring Alexander back. It will not erase the pain his family, friends, coworkers, and the towing community continue to carry.

But it is a step toward ACCOUNTABILITY.

Tow operators work inches away from moving traffic every single day. Their lives depend on drivers making responsible decisions behind the wheel.

SLOW DOWN. MOVE OVER. PUT THE PHONE DOWN. NEVER DRIVE IMPAIRED.

Alexander deserved to finish his shift.

Alexander deserved to go home.

We will continue to stand with his family and keep his name alive.

WE WILL DRAG THE CHAINS FROM HERE.

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of Lt. Tyler Uthe, a respected leader, a dedicated servant and friend. His loss is being felt deeply across our agency and by all who had the privilege to serve alongside him.

Our thoughts are with Tyler’s family, friends, loved ones and fellow troopers during this incredibly difficult time. We ask that you keep them in your thoughts and respect their privacy as they grieve.

As we mourn Tyler’s loss, we are reminded that even those who spend their lives helping others sometimes need help themselves. No one should have to carry life's challenges alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de and Crisis Lifeline for support.

Tyler’s impact on this agency and the lives he touched will not be forgotten.
