Retrial of Jiram Tenorio Ramon Begins | Santa Barbara News

Twenty-six-year-old Jiram Tenorio Ramon faces a retrial for a 2022 fatal shooting at Stearns Wharf, where bystander Robert Gutierrez—celebrating his 20th wedding anniversary—was killed in what prosecutors call a gang-fueled shootout. The first trial ended in a deadlock, 11 to 1 for guilt. Prosecutors claim Tenorio Ramon started the confrontation to prove himself to a local gang, while his defense argues he was merely defending himself against imminent danger, with no evidence tying him to any gang. Social media and video evidence are expected to be key as the trial resumes this week, with Tenorio Ramon remaining jailed without bail.
