Man to be sentenced in Mars Hill attempted murder, postal vehicle carjacking of rural carrier Teresa Ramsay

ASHEVILLE – The man who pleaded guilty in attempted murder and carjacking of a mail vehicle in connection with the shooting of a Madison County resident in the face will be sentenced this week.

Jaden Garay, 25, of Weaverville, was federally indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice in October 2023 after the Sept. 5 shooting of Hot Springs resident Teresa Ramsay.

Garay was captured early Sept. 6 in Morganton after a manhunt went on through the night.

His sentencing hearing is scheduled for March 13 at the Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse on Otis Street in Asheville.

On Sept. 5, 2023, Mars Hill University went into lockdown just before 1:15 p.m. after officers with Mars Hill Police Department and Madison County Sheriff’s Office responded to “an individual with severe injuries and the theft of their vehicle” located just off Main Street near Spring Drive.

Ramsay’s daughter, Scarlet Ramsay, started a GoFundMe page to help with the medical costs associated with Ramsay’s injury.

On the page, Scarlet Ramsay also detailed the injuries sustained by her mother. She said her mother underwent surgery Sept. 8, 2023, to remove her left eye and perform facial reconstruction.
