Langley Park man sentenced to life in prison for killing former employer

Monge was the owner of Two Brothers Tire City in Colmar Manor, where the killing was captured on the store's surveillance cameras, according to a news release from State's Attorney for Prince George's County Glenn F. Ivey's office.

‘‘He had been fired,” said Ramon V. Korionoff, Ivey's spokesman. ‘‘It had been weeks earlier and then he came with his 12-inch blade and stabbed [Monge] several times.”

According to the release, the video showed Garcia-Ramos enter the store with a covering on his face and, after a struggle, stab Monge several times.

Garcia-Ramos, who was a former employee at the Tire City, fled the scene and called his sister soon after to confess that he killed his boss, according to the release. Another employee was also at the store and saw Garcia-Ramos behind the counter and heard Monge in the back of the shop moaning. Monge was pronounced dead on the scene and Garcia-Ramos was arrested two days later.

His attorney, Assistant Public Defender Richard Rydelek, could not be reached for comment.

Garcia-Ramos will serve 40 years after which time he will probably be deported since he is not a U.S. citizen, Korionoff said.
