What You Need to Know

A pre-trial hearing has been set for Ramy Fahim on Dec. 2 at the North Justice Center in Fullerton, California.
He was a research associate for Pence Wealth Management; he is accused of killing his co-worker, who was a marketing/media assistant.
Fahim was arrested in April and charged with special circumstances murders, for which he could face the death penalty if convicted.

The next hearing for Ramy Hany Mounir Fahim, the employee at LPL Network RIA firm Pence Wealth Management arrested in April as a suspect in a double homicide, has been scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on Dec. 2, according to the website of the Superior Court of California for Orange County.

The pretrial hearing will be held at the court’s North Justice Center in Fullerton, in room N3. The new date was set Tuesday, during another hearing, according to the website.

Fahim, of Irvine, California, was charged with special circumstances murders for allegedly stabbing his co-worker and the co-worker’s roommate to death in their Anaheim apartment, according to Todd Spitzer, district attorney for Orange County.

The “special circumstances of lying in wait and multiple murders” make Fahim “eligible for the death penalty,” according to Spitzer.

Fahim was charged with eight felony counts, including two counts of murder and two enhancements each of lying in wait, multiple murders and the personal use of a deadly weapon, Spitzer said in a news release.

Fahim is accused of stabbing his Pence co-worker, Griffin Cuomo, 23, and then stabbing Cuomo’s roommate, Jonathan Bahm, 23, in their Katella Avenue apartment in Anaheim at around 6:30 a.m. on April 19.

A building security guard encountered Fahim on the roof of the apartment complex around midnight on April 18, hours before the killings, according to Spitzer. Fahim was also seen on the same floor of the victims’ apartment the morning of the killings.

Fahim was still inside the victims’ apartment and “suffering from a minor injury” when Anaheim police responded to the 911 call, the Anaheim Police Department said April 20 in a news release.
