CHILD MOLESTATION SUSPECT FROM RAMONA DIES IN JAIL
By Miriam RafteryMay 6, 2024 (Ramona) – Child molestation suspect Majid Arif Almajid, 38, of Ramona died yesterday morning at the George Bailey Detention Facility in San Diego. He was found unresponsive in his bunk and passed away despite efforts to revive him by deputies, jail medical staff and Cal Fire paramedics.
Almajid was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task force on December 20. He was charged with multiple counts, including sexual intercourse or sodomy with a child under 10, as well as oral copulation or sexual penetration with a child under 10.
“The San Diego Sheriff's Department extends our sympathies to the Almajid family and those affected by his passing,” a statement from the department says. “A Sheriff's Family Liaison Officer will support the family as they cope with their loss.”
The Citizens' Law Enforcement Review Board (CLERB) was notified of this incident.
As is the protocol for all in-custody deaths, the Sheriff's Homicide Unit will conduct a thorough investigation. The cause and manner of death will be determined by the Medical Examiner's Office.
