The four men accused of the October 2019 kidnapping-murder of a Pleasure Point entrepreneur will stand to face trial on a spate of charges, a Santa Cruz County Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday.
Judge John Salazar’s decision came at the conclusion of a drawn-out preliminary hearing for defendants Joshua Camps, 25, brothers Kurtis and Kaleb Charters, 23 and 20, and Stephen “Nick” Lindsay, 23, who each have been charged with murder in the Oct. 1, 2019 death Tushar Atre, a 50-year-old Pleasure Point resident. The four have been indicted on a total of seven counts, including carjacking, first-degree burglary, kidnapping, kidnapping to commit another crime — a charge by itself which carries a life sentence, second-degree robbery, first-degree residential robbery, plus special allegations of robbery and kidnapping during the commission of a murder. Camps alone carries an additional special allegation of using an assault rifle in order to carry out his crimes.
