Prosecutors seeking death penalty in Delta slaying case

James C. Ramey accused of fatally shooting ex-girlfriend Amanda Mangas

WAUSEON — Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against an East Toledo man charged with killing his former girlfriend at her Delta home.

James C. Ramey, 27, of the 300 block of Fassett Street is accused of fatally shooting Amanda Mangas, 23, March 14. Police said he then took their 10-month-old son and Ms. Mangas' stepmother, Deborah Mangas, and drove to north-central Indiana, where he was arrested.

The case becomes the second death-penalty case pending in Fulton County Common Pleas Court.

James D. Worley, 58, of rural Delta was indicted last year for aggravated murder with capital specifications for the July kidnapping and asphyxiation death of Sierah Joughin, 20, of Metamora. His trial is set for January.

A Fulton County grand jury indicted Ramey Tuesday on 22 counts, including two counts of aggravated murder, two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, two counts of aggravated burglary, four counts of abduction, and six counts of kidnapping.

Fulton County Prosecutor Scott Haselman said in a news release that Ramey “by force or threat of force abducted a child and an adult and restrained their liberty under circumstances which created a risk of physical harm to them. He also allegedly caused physical harm to Deborah Mangas by means of a deadly weapon.”

Investigators believe the firearm Ramey used was stolen, and he also was charged with violating a protection order that had been in place for Amanda Mangas.
