The four defendants then allegedly fled the location of the shooting, two on foot and two by vehicle, then traveled back to the location of the homicide in vehicles to extract those who fled on foot to avoid apprehension, prosecutors said.

“Mr. Gutierrez’s death was a direct result of the gunshot wound he sustained on Dec. 9, deeming this case a homicide investigation,” police said previously. “It appears Mr. Gutierrez was an innocent bystander when the shooting occurred.”

Detectives from the Santa Barbara Police Department continually investigated the homicide, and “their extensive and diligent investigation led to the identification of multiple suspects connected to a local criminal street gang,” police said.

The Santa Barbara Police Department, Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office and Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office then executed search-and-arrest warrants at several locations throughout the city and county, and the four defendants were arrested.
