A municipal ambulance supervisor in southwestern Minnesota quit his job and fled the state in the midst of allegations that he sexually assaulted one of his employees, officials said.

Elijah Uriel Camarillo, 28, of Jackson, remains jailed as of Feb. 23 in Beloit, Wis., while being charged in Jackson County District Court with two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct in connection with the alleged rape that occurred in June 2025 in his home.

Court records do not list an attorney for Camarillo, whose return to Minnesota from the jail in southern Wisconsin is pending.

According to the criminal complaint:

A woman reported to law enforcement on Feb. 11 that she went to Camarillo’s home in May 2025, the same month as she was hired, supposedly to be among others to work on their permits to carry a gun in public.

She went to his home, no one else showed up, and Camarillo gave her wine and THC gummies. She said she felt weird and left.

In June 2025, Camarillo invited her to his home for what he said was to give her an early birthday gift. While there, she drank six glasses of wine and was barely able to walk.

At one point he flipped her onto the bed. She noticed two guns were on the nightstand and pointed toward the bed.

The woman said she tried in vain to run away before Camarillo, who was much bigger than the woman, raped her.

The complaint noted that law enforcement suspected he would flee to Chicago. He was tracked down and arrested on Feb. 14 about 80 miles northwest of Chicago.
