Gonzalez
MONTICELLO – A Liberty man has been indicted on a charge of murder
for allegedly shooting and killing his wife.
Sullivan County District Attorney James Farrell said Jorge Gonzalez, 66,
allegedly shot Ramona Gonzalez, 30, in the head with a shotgun in a wooded
area off Willow Heights Road in the Town of Fallsburg. The murder occurred
on February 4. Her body was found by investigators two days later in the
woods.
He was arrested after an investigation by Liberty Village Police, Fallsburg
Town Police, State Police and the Sullivan County District Attorney’s
Office.
Gonzalez is charged with murder, criminal possession of a weapon and two
counts of endangering the welfare of a child. The endangering charge stems
from two incidents where he left their two-month-old daughter alone, once
in their house and once in their car, Farrell said.
If convicted, Gonzalez faces 25 years to life in state prison.
He is being held in the Sullivan County Jail.
