King County prosecutors have charged 35-year-old Jordyn Weichert with second-degree murder in connection with the violent death of Ramon Aragon-Garcia, 55, who was found stabbed to death inside his van in Seattle’s SODO neighborhood on July 14, 2025.
The incident came to light after a distressed man flagged down deputies responding to an unrelated call, alerting them to the white van where Aragon-Garcia was found lifeless. Deputies who entered the vehicle discovered the victim’s body alongside a knife, prompting an immediate homicide investigation.
Court filings indicate that Weichert was seen entering the van that evening, and surveillance footage captured her leaving the vehicle with what investigators described as blood on her chest. Witnesses also reported hearing a man inside the van urgently pleading for someone to stop. The Seattle Police Department confirmed through surrounding surveillance that no one else was seen entering or exiting the van during the critical time frame.
The medical examiner determined that Aragon-Garcia had sustained multiple stab wounds, including fatal injuries to the head, face, arms, and a cut to the femoral artery. His death was ruled a homicide.
Documents revealed that Weichert and Aragon-Garcia were familiar with each other and had appeared to be on good terms prior to the stabbing. Law enforcement tracked Weichert for nearly two weeks, with assistance from civilian tips, before arresting her on July 29.
Weichert is currently being held on $5 million bail. Prosecutors have also requested that if she posts bail, she be placed under electronic home monitoring with GPS, citing concerns about public safety and her potential for future violence.
Her criminal record shows three prior convictions for vehicular homicide and two for vehicular assault, all stemming from a single incident. While those convictions are serious, Washington state’s “three strikes law” only counts convictions from separate incidents toward a life sentence without parole. Therefore, despite the severity of her history, Weichert would face only one “strike” under current legal standards.
The case has reignited conversations around habitual offenders, with prosecutors emphasizing the importance of managing repeat offenders within the limits of state law.
