Make California Post a Preferred Source One of the men allegedly behind some of the most horrific brawls during the San Francisco 49ers-Las Vegas Raiders game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara has been identified by police.
Stephan Ramirez, a 32-year-old San Jose resident, was arrested Tuesday after authorities identified him as a suspect in a viral video that appeared to show an unconscious person being attacked in the stadium’s parking lot.
Disturbing footage of the violent confrontation quickly spread across social media, showing multiple men exchanging punches before several were knocked to the ground.
One man was seen lying motionless with his legs twisted at an unnatural angle.
A second angle of the fight, which later surfaced online, appeared to show men continuing to throw punches at people who were already unconscious and unable to defend themselves.
The person filming the incident could be heard reacting to the repeated blows, suggesting that the attacks on defenseless victims should be considered “attempted murder.”
The same accusation appeared in the video’s caption, although authorities have not announced any attempted murder charges.
Police said they obtained arrest and search warrants before taking Ramirez into custody at his San Jose home on suspicion of felony assault and an outstanding warrant.
His arrest follows a chaotic Sunday at Levi’s Stadium that resulted in at least 11 other arrests, 45 ejections and two hospitalizations, according to Santa Clara police.
Despite a heavy security presence involving approximately 30 outside agencies, violence broke out in multiple locations, including the stadium’s upper deck and surrounding parking lots.
Videos shared across social media showed fans throwing punches, knocking one another to the ground and leaving some victims motionless as bystanders watched.
Both people who were hospitalized have since been released, authorities said.
The 49ers condemned the violence, reiterating their zero-tolerance policy toward fighting at Levi’s Stadium and thanking law enforcement officers and security personnel for their response.
Santa Clara police said detectives are still working to identify additional suspects involved in the fights.
They are urging anyone with footage of the altercations to come forward as the investigations remain ongoing.
