Elyas Yakub Abowath, 36, was killed on August 8, 1985, in Diamond Bar, California.

Ramirez is said to have then assaulted Elyas’s wife, Sakina Abowath, who was in the house with their two young sons, ages three years and eight weeks. Sakina was bound and assaulted while Ramirez ransacked the home and took valuables before fleeing. The text identifies this attack as the final murder for which Ramirez was later convicted.

If anyone has memories of the Abowath family, the neighborhood around Pinehill Lane in 1985, or information relevant to this case, please share what is known.
