A tip from a parole officer led to the arrest Sunday of the key suspect in the attack on a San Francisco Giants fan outside Dodger Stadium after the rival teams' season opener, a brutal beating that brought an outpouring of support for the victim and outrage in the sports world and beyond.

Suspect Giovanni Ramirez, 31, was detained in an early morning raid on an East Hollywood apartment building and was believed to be the "primary aggressor" in the March 31 beating that left Bryan Stow with brain damage, Police Chief Charlie Beck said at an afternoon news conference at the stadium that included Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Dodgers officials.

Stow, a 42-year-old paramedic and father of two, was transferred to San Francisco General Hospital after he was initially treated at Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center, where doctors put him in a medically induced coma to help prevent seizures.

Last week, doctors in San Francisco reported that Stow has been able to open his eyes, but he remained in critical condition.

But Beck said of the investigation that "this job is only half done" with suspects still at large, and others who spoke at the news conference said the same.

"The woman who was driving, you need to give yourself in. The other coward who did this, you need to give yourself in," said City Councilman Ed Reyes, who represents the area of the stadium.
