Four teens plead not guilty to Santa Barbara gang stabbings
By Associated Press
Four teenagers pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder for a Santa Barbara street brawl last summer that left a 16-year-old boy stabbed to death and two others wounded.
Bryan Steven Medinilla, Ruben Nicholas Mize, Carlos Diaz and Emilio Mora entered pleas Wednesday to the gang-related killing. Medinilla and Mize are 16 years old and are being tried as adults with Diaz and Mora, both 19.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 21.
Lorenzo Valentin Carachure was stabbed to death during the July 16 melee at Ortega and San Pascual streets. The dead teen’s 19-year-old cousin Noe Carachure and a 17-year-old boy survived stab wounds.
