The Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office filed charges Monday against three people in connection with the February fatal shooting of a 29-year-old Santa Barbara man at Bohnett Park.

Police last week announced they had arrested 18-year-old Jimmy Alexander Mora Jr. and 19-year-old Jorge Angel Hurtado, both of Ventura County, and a juvenile whose name was not released, related to the Feb. 20 fatal shooting of Luis Gerardo Terrazas.

Terrazas was found with a gunshot wound on Santa Barbara’s Westside around 1:30 a.m. He was taken to the hospital and died of his injuries, according to police.

Hurtado and others are “alleged to have shot and killed Luis Terrazas in a gang-related murder,” said Kevin Weichbrod, senior deputy district attorney.

Hurtado has been charged with murder and attempted murder, as well as special allegations for committing the murder for the benefit of or association with the Eastside criminal street gang and discharging a 9mm semi-automatic firearm causing great bodily injury.

He is scheduled to be arraigned at 8:30 a.m. Thursday.

He remained in custody at the Santa Barbara Main Jail on a $3 million bail as of Monday night.

The specific charges filed against Mora and the unnamed juvenile in juvenile court were not available. Mora appears to have been a juvenile when the alleged crimes occurred.

Santa Barbara Police Cmdr. Brian Miller said detectives identified “multiple suspects believed to be involved” in Terrazas’ death and arrested them in coordination with the Ventura Police Department, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department and the District Attorney’s Office.

Terrazas was one of three men facing charges related to the Aug. 1, 2025, stabbing death of Anthony Michael Bisquera Hartley, 30, on State Street in downtown Santa Barbara.
