FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Release Date: Jan. 12, 2021
Contact: Public Information Office     512-974-5017    Email

Case:           21-0090080
 
Date:           Saturday, January 9, 2021

Time:           1:13 a.m.

Location:     3700 block of N. IH-35 Svrd NB

Deceased:   Khairullah Danish | Middle Eastern male | January 1, 1980

Arrested:     Christian Ramos | Hispanic male | 24 years of age

The preliminary investigation shows that Khairullah Danish was driving eastbound on E. 38 ½ Street in a black, 2009 Toyota Carolla when he arrived at a traffic signal flashing red in all directions. He came to a complete stop and began proceeding through the intersection when he was struck by Christian Ramos. Ramos was driving a grey, 2013 Mazda CX-9 and failed to yield at the intersection.

Upon arrival, Austin-Travis County EMS attempted life-saving measures, but Khairullah Danish succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased on scene.

Officers conducted an investigation and determined that Christian Ramos was intoxicated. He was placed under arrest and is charged with intoxication manslaughter. His bond has been set at $100,000.

This is an ongoing investigation. Anyone with information regarding this case should call APD’s Vehicular Homicide Unit Detectives at (512) 974-4424. You can also submit tips by downloading APD’s mobile app, Austin PD, for free on iPhone and Android.

This was Austin’s first fatal traffic crash of 2021, resulting in one fatality. At the time in 2020, there were three traffic fatalities.
