Avoiding a murder trial set to begin later this month, codefendants in the 2009 fatal gang stabbing of a 16-year-old Santa Cruz High School junior instead agreed to plea deals this week.
Paulo Luna and Ivan Tapia Ramirez, both 36, separately pleaded no contest to reduced charges in negotiated deals with the Santa Cruz County District Attorney’s Office.
Tyler Tenorio, 16-year-old Santa Cruz High student, was stabbed to death on Laurel Street on Oct. 16, 2009. By the time one of Tenorio’s friends was able to pull him from the fracas, Tenorio was suffering from some 17 stab wounds, primarily to his abdomen.
