Incident

Correctional Officer Anibal Ramos-Feliciano and Correctional Officer Angel "Moralito" Morales were shot and killed inside the Bayamon Correctional Complex by an inmate who was attempting to escape with two other inmates.

The inmate had previously been convicted of two murders, including the murder of Correctional Officer Irving Gonzalez during a previous escape on May 3rd, 1975. As Officer Morales and Officer Ramos-Feliciano entered the gallery area of Annex 308 for a routine inspection they were attacked by the three inmates. The inmate who had previously murdered Officer Gonzalez had obtained a revolver that had been smuggled into the prison and shot both officers in the head, killing them.

All three inmates were able to escape after climbing over the wall of the prison and shooting at the guards in the watchtower. Two of the inmates were arrested several days later but the inmate who had murdered Officer Gonzalez, Officer Morales, and Officer Ramos-Feliciano was never apprehended and remains at large.

Officer Ramos-Feliciano had served with the Puerto Rico Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for only six months and had previously served with the Puerto Rico Police Department.

In 2010 the Puerto Rico Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation renamed their training academy the Ramos and Morales Correctional Officers Academy.
