Charon, who is facing capital murder and tampering with evidence charges, was indicted on Jan. 6, 2026, according to Bexar County court records. The tampering with evidence charge is considered a second-degree felony.

Records also show Charon is set to have a psychiatric evaluation on Jan. 30.

When Charon was arrested in October 2025, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said Dramiga, 63, died of blunt force and penetrating trauma to her head. She was also sexually assaulted and partially burned, the sheriff said at the time.
