Statement from District Attorney Thien Ho on Adel Ramos Death Penalty Sentence
“Today’s death penalty sentence delivers a measure of justice for the brutal and calculated murder of Sacramento Police Officer Tara O’Sullivan, who gave her life in service to her community. This ambush attack was not only against one officer—it was an attack on the entire Sacramento Police Department and every law enforcement professional who puts on a uniform to protect and serve others. This sentence reflects the gravity of the crime and recognizes the ultimate sacrifice Tara and her family have made. We thank the jury in this case for their thoughtful deliberation and their service to this community.”

Defendant Convicted of Child Molestation, Indecent Exposures, Lewd Acts in Public
On March 19, 2025, Luis Hernandez was convicted by a jury of four counts of molesting a child under 18 years old, four counts of indecent exposure, and four counts of lewd acts in public.
On January 15, 2025, two girls (ages 12 and 13) were walking near their Folsom apartment complex when Luis Hernandez pulled up in his vehicle and stopped in front of their path. Hernandez then exposed himself and masturbated towards the children. When the girls screamed, Hernandez sped away in his vehicle. On January 25, 2025, two other children (ages 9 and 10) were playing in front of another Folsom apartment complex when Hernandez drove up to them and got out of his vehicle. Hernandez again exposed himself and masturbated towards them. The kids ran to tell their mother, and Hernandez fled. The Folsom Police Department obtained camera footage placing Hernandez’s vehicle in the area at the exact time of the January 25th incident. Detectives were also able to retrieve the license plate number of the vehicle, which was registered to Hernandez. Further investigation showed Hernandez was in the area of the two crimes at the exact times of the two incidents.

Serial Rapist Sentenced
On March 14, 2025, the Honorable Steve White sentenced Nabil Elomari to 36 years to life in prison and required him to register as a sex offender for life. On January 22, 2025, Elomari pled to sodomy by force and two counts of rape by force.
When CHP detectives realized similarities and connected the three assaults, they reopened the investigation into the first and third victim. Both reported a similar story of being tricked into getting into Elomari’s car and being sexually assaulted. All three victims identified Elomari as their rapist.
Under current California law, Nabil Elomari (age 26 ) will become eligible for release at an Elder Parole hearing once he reaches the age of 50 and only serves 20 years of his 36-years to life prison sentence, which will be in approximately 24 years.
