Police are searching for suspects after two teenagers were found dead in a car... Anamarie Ojeda, 13, and her boyfriend, 18-year-old Venancio Cisneros, were shot to death on East Ramada Way in Santa Fe, according to investigators.
The couples families are desperately searching for answers following what police are calling a double homicide. But the families dont know who would have wanted to hurt the teens.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports, investigators say they found a bloodstained Toyota Camry that had been reported stolen in a field west of N.M. 599.
Deputies say the Camry was located about five miles from where Venancio Cisneros, 18, and his 13-year-old girlfriend Annamarie Ojeda were found dead in a car off of State Road 14 on Oct. 25.
According to the Santa Fe New Mexican, deputies also say they found two distinct shoe patterns near the Camry similar to footprints found at the crime scene, a court document says.
...when Anamarie met Cisneros back in January, things took a turn for the worse. Anamarie stopped going to school. She would run away with Cisneros for weeks at a time, the family said. Her family filed numerous police reports.

Anamarie eventually returned home, and her father put heavy-duty locks on the windows that required a key to open — a violation of the fire code, the apartment manager told him. “I didn’t care,” Ojeda said. “I was trying to keep my daughter away from this guy”...
While the Santa Fe Police Department has issued six media advisories this year about missing teens, including two for suspected runaways, the department did not issue any for Anamarie Ojeda. Espinoza also said police could not arrest Cisneros on a charge of statutory rape unless they caught the couple together and could prove they’d had sexual relations.
Ojeda and Anamarie’s aunt believe no notice was issued because police had labeled Anamarie a frequent runaway. “They stigmatized her,” said Christina Garcia, the wife of Ojeda’s brother.
OT, but one article said she had dropped out of school...when the age to do so is 18 in NM. Not that I can see how a law can prevent someone from dropping out, but still...she was 13.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Ricardo “Ricky” Martinez, 20, for two open counts of murder with a $2 million cash only bond.
Martinez is described as 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs 120 lbs. He has brown eyes, brown hair and numerous tattoos on the right arm and neck. He is considered to be armed and dangerous and violent according to his prior criminal history.
Early Saturday morning, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshals Service assisted local police in Colorado Springs, Colo., in arresting fugitive suspect Ricardo “Ricky” Martinez, who was sought in the October slayings of two Santa Fe teens...
The Marshals Service said Friday that Ricardo Martinez is affiliated with a national gang known as the Latin Kings, one of the largest Hispanic street gangs in the U.S.
Authorities said at least three witnesses told investigators they had seen Martinez and an unidentified man with the teen victims on the day before their bodies were found on East Ramada Way, a small residential road off N.M. 14 south of Santa Fe.

(the father) Ojeda was too upset to talk, but Anamarie's aunt spoke out.
"(There is) a sense of peace about it, but then there was, it would rise to this level of anger again," said Tina Garcia.
She said the family has just one question for the suspect, 20-year-old Ricardo Martinez.
"The main thing Raul just wants is, why?" Garcia said....
"You know what, justice is going to come. It's coming, we know it, we feel it," said Garcia.
A grand jury in Santa Fe has indicted a 20-year-old man on two counts of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of a teenaged couple found in a car south of town in October.
The indictment of Ricardo Martinez in the slayings of AnaMarie Ojeda, 13, and her boyfriend Venancio “Venny” Cisneros, 18, was filed Wednesday, according to documents in state District Court in Santa Fe.
The indictment also charges Martinez with two counts of evidence tampering, stating that he allegedly destroyed, hid or changed physical evidence including car keys and a firearm “to prevent apprehension, prosecution or conviction of himself or another,” the indictment states.
A Santa Fe District Court judge on Wednesday denied two defense motions in the case of a man accused of killing a young Santa Fe couple in 2014...
The trial is scheduled to start May 9.
Ricardo Martinez was tired of Venancio Cisneros not paying the money he owed him for drugs, so he carried out a plan to murder Cisneros in October 2014. And Ana Marie Ojeda, Cisneros 13-year-old girlfriend, also was killed just because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Thats how prosecutors described their case against Martinez, 22, as his double-homicide case got underway Tuesday...
Martinezs trial in state District Court is expected to last three weeks with testimony from more than 100 witnesses...
Mondays proceedings included testimony from several Santa Fe County deputies. Jurors were also shown lapel camera footage and photos of the crime scene, which showed Cisneros and Ojeda slumped over in the Toyota Corolla with blood on their bodies and inside the car.
While a jury of six men and six women found Martinez guilty on two counts of first-degree murder for killing Anamarie Ojeda, 13, and Venancio Cisneros, 18. They found him not guilty on two additional counts of tampering with evidence in the case.
He faces 30 years to life in prison without parole. He will be sentenced at a later date.
