Two of the men charged with murder in the shooting death of a Camarillo man on Santa Barbara’s waterfront made brief court appearances on Wednesday.

Their cases were continued to Feb. 17 in Santa Barbara County Superior Court.

Four Santa Barbara men have been arrested and criminally charged in connection with the Dec. 9 shooting of 52-year-old Robert Dion “Rob” Gutierrez.

Santa Barbara police described Gutierrez as an “innocent bystander.”

Jiram Tenorio Ramon, 22, is charged with murder, using a handgun to intentionally kill Gutierrez, and discharging a firearm causing great bodily injury.

Ricardo Tomas Jauregui-Moreno, 20, and Christopher Dave Miranda, 21, are charged with murder, and James Lee Rosborough, 21, is charged with being an accessory after the fact.

All four men have been charged with conspiracy to commit a crime, street terrorism, and criminal street gang conspiracy, and are accused of committing the offenses for the benefit of the Westside Santa Barbara criminal street gang.

The District Attorney’s Office said in the criminal complaint that the four men were in a vehicle together and “verbally challenged a group of pedestrians while driving on Stearns Wharf.”

They stopped the vehicle for two of them “to attack the group of pedestrians with a firearm,” the complaint alleges.

Gutierrez was shot and died of his injuries two weeks later in the hospital, according to police.

The criminal complaint also says all four men charged in this case fled the scene of the killing, two on foot and two by vehicle, and traveled back to the shooting scene in vehicles “to extract those who fled on foot to avoid apprehension.”

The arraignments for all four men have been scheduled for Feb. 17. They remain in jail custody with no bail.

On Wednesday, Jauregui-Moreno and Miranda appeared in court and had new defense attorneys appointed.

Attorney Andrea Keith will represent Jauregui-Moreno and an attorney from the Public Defender’s Office will represent Miranda.

Jauregui-Moreno appeared in court via Zoom from the jail facility while Miranda attended in person.
