Man arrested on murder charges after woman found stabbed to death in Simi Valley

A 34-year-old Simi Valley woman was stabbed late last week and her live-in boyfriend was arrested on suspicion of murder, police reported Sunday.

Officers said they found Jessica Tinoco with multiple stab wounds to her face, chest and stomach after responding to a call about a domestic violence incident in progress just after 6 p.m. Friday.

Police said the woman’s teenage daughter reported the incident at a local residence in the 800 block of California Avenue, which is west of First Street and north of Royal Avenue.

The woman was transported to Los Robles Regional Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, where she died from her injuries within an hour, police Sgt. said Richard Morton on Sunday.

Morton said his understanding was that the woman was stabbed.

A suspect, identified in jail records as Ramon Joseph Rivas, 34, of Simi Valley, was taken into custody and booked into the county jail on a murder charge. He remained there on Sunday and cannot be released. He is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
