After nearly two months of searching for a suspect in the beating of San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow, an arrest of the main perpetrator was made Sunday morning. Working on a tip from a parole officer, police apprehended Giovanni Ramirez in an East Hollywood apartment complex.

At about 7 a.m., the Los Angeles Police Department SWAT team descended on an East Hollywood apartment building with a warrant in hand. According to apartment building manager Maritza Camacho, police, using loudspeakers and with guns drawn, called out to the occupants of Apartment 25. Inside was one of the men police suspect in the March 31 beating that left Stow with brain damage.

Several police sources confirmed that the man taken into custody was one of the two suspects in the beating.

In the last few weeks, the Dodgers organization has ramped up the reward in hopes of finding the person or persons responsible. The fund had reached in upwards of $200k before the arrest was made. No word on if someone will be collecting the handsome reward but it appears that the numerous billboards in and around the L.A. area were crucial in finding Ramirez.
