Santa Maria police officers arrested two teenagers on Friday who are suspected of murdering 20-year-old Anthony Hernandez earlier this month.

Shortly before 9 p.m. on Dec. 10, a caller reported a shooting in the 300 block of W. Sheila Lane. Officers arrived to find Hernandez suffering from gunshot wounds near a residence. He died at the scene.

On Friday, officers arrested 18-year-old Jesus Lopez-Ramirez and a 16-year-old male on charges of murder with gang enhancements. In addition, 21-year-old Alex Lopez-Ramirez was charged with accessory after the fact.

Officers are asking anyone with information about this case to contact Detective Hesch at (805) 928-3781 ext. 1349.

I thought there was a church group “engaging” the kids in jr. high and high schools and doing “real well” turning the kids away from violence and gang culture? This was ten years ago. What happened? Fail?


Well, you see, sometimes Sa-TAN? gets his meathooks into them.


Three young lives ruined. For what?
