ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Albuquerque Police Department charged five teens with the murder of a homeless woman in June. According to APD, the five teens were cruising early in the morning of June 10 when they ran low on gas. A witness told police that the teens decided to rob homeless people for money.
The teens stopped their vehicle near Central Ave. and Zuni Rd. That’s when two of the teens, 17-year-old Terrance Morris and 16-year-old Ean Spencer, got out of the car with guns and approached people in the alleyway demanding money.
Someone nearby exited a trailer and began shooting at the teens, who returned fire. After moving back, Morris returned and shot two more rounds. The group then fled the scene. Marlene Gutierrez, 35, was hit by a bullet and died.
Morris and Spencer, along with 16-year-old Jeffrey Moore, 16-year-old Victoria Belmudez Candlearia, and 17-year-old Jazelle Dudley, were charged with murder among other charges. Four of the teens have been arrested. Police are still searching for Dudley.
