HPD explained that it conducted a criminal investigation and presented the case to the Harris County District Attorney's Office in August 2021 for review.
Ramos, who's a seven-year member of the department, was placed on indefinite suspension in the same month after an HPD Internal Affairs Division investigation.
The officer was permitted under law to appeal the suspension and was later reinstated in February 2022 after 185 days, police said.
Police added that Chief Troy Finner relieved Ramos of duty Wednesday in light of the indictment.

"We respect the grand jury process and its decision," the department wrote in a statement.
Ramos was sworn in as an officer in August 2016 and is assigned to the North Patrol Division.
