A convicted felon who allegedly drove his car through a crowd of people outside a Los Angeles nightclub over the weekend has been indicted.

Fernando Ramirez, 29, of San Clemente, faces 37 charges of attempted murder and 37 counts of assault with a deadly weapon, all felonies, from a crash that left 37 injured outside the Vermont Hollywood nightclub Saturday night. 

“We understand that this brazen act has shaken the community and, but for the good grace of God, this could have been a mass casualty incident,” LA County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said, according to WPLG.

Ramirez has a lengthy criminal history and was out of prison on parole at the time of the crash. 

KNBC reported he was convicted of felony battery from an attack on a man outside a Whole Foods in 2019 and sentenced to prison the following year. It is unclear whether his parole release was related to that conviction. 

The report said Ramirez has at least “11 criminal cases ranging from misdemeanors to felonies” since 2014, citing the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.

The 2014 charge was gang-related, and Ramirez has a pending 2024 drunk driving case and a pending 2022 domestic violence case that are both unresolved. 

He faces life in prison if convicted on the charges related to the car ramming.
