Wanted Outstanding Suspects for Tyler Tenorio Murder In 2009

This week marks the 8th anniversary of the Tyler Tenorio homicide. There are two outstanding fugitives with active warrants for their arrest in this case.

On October 16, 2009, at approximately 10:00 PM the Santa Cruz Police Department was dispatched to the corner of Laurel St. and Chestnut St. for a reported stabbing. Arriving Officers located the victim who had multiple stab wounds. Once emergency medical personnel arrived on the scene, and after attempting to render aid to the victim, he was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim, Tyler Tenorio, was 17 years old.

Subsequent investigation revealed that a brief fight had occurred between two groups of male subjects. Once the fight ended, and the crowd dispersed, the victim remained on the ground with multiple stab wounds. SCPD Investigators also determined through witness statements that five subjects were seen kicking and stabbing the victim as he lay on the ground.

Of the five suspects, three have been arrested. The two outstanding suspects for murder are Ivan Ramirez Tapia and Paulo Luna. Both are now 31 years of age.
