Court documents show an extensive criminal history for four teens charged in an alleged carjacking, high-speed chase and crash with an Albuquerque police car that injured several officers. According to the documents from the Juvenile Justice Center in Bernalillo County, the state will try to charge two of the teens, Conrad Trujillo, 17, and Janay Marin, 16, as adults. Investigators said Marin lured a teenage boy to a known gang house last Friday, where Trujillo allegedly pointed a gun at the teen’s head and demanded his cellphone and car keys. According to a criminal complaint, the teen handed over the items, and then was beaten by Trujillo, Mark Rios, 17, Samuel Mirabal, 13, and Xavier Montoya, 18. The complaint said the teens then drove away in the stolen vehicle, and later led Bernalillo County deputies on a chase reaching speeds of more than 110 miles per hour. Investigators said Marin was the driver. Marin eventually crashed into an Albuquerque police cruiser near Coors Boulevard and St. Joseph’s Drive. Investigators said the officer suffered a broken shoulder, a broken ankle and a cut on his forehead. Court documents from Sandoval County show Trujillo was arrested in July 2015 after officers found him in possession of a gun. The documents said Trujillo tried to throw the gun over a wall, and tried to run from police. Less than two weeks before that incident, additional court documents show Trujillo had been arrested on drug charges. Records show he took a plea deal and was sentenced to probation. In juvenile court Tuesday, Trujillo’s mother said her son suffered a traumatic brain injury several months ago and needs medication. Court documents show Marin was charged with stealing a car in November 2015. She had completed probation for that charge less than two weeks before the crash with the APD car. Court officials said the teen admitted to using methamphetamine. Marin’s mother told the juvenile court judge she is scared of her own daughter, because Marin has threatened to hit her before. The teen’s parents said they can’t control Marin, and said she belongs in custody. Marin’s mom said, “I love Janay, of course, she’s my daughter…she needs help.” The youngest suspect in this case is only 13 years old. According to court documents, Samuel Mirabel has been arrested six times in less than a year. Records show he was arrested last month for stealing his mom’s car. In July, records show officers found him carrying brass knuckles, which are considered a deadly weapon. Investigators said Samuel tried to run away from officers, and refused to tell them his real name. Court documents also show Samuel was arrested in December 2015 for shoplifting. He was placed on probation, but was arrested six months later for violating that probation. Court officials said he violated his probation again in August and September, and even ripped off his own ankle monitor. In juvenile court Tuesday, Samuel’s probation officer said the teen has an “I don’t care attitude,” and shows no remorse for his crimes. Mark Rios, 17, is no stranger to the law either. Court records show Rios was charged for firing a gun into a building last year. He also pleaded guilty to drug charges, and admitted to using methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana. Rios was still on probation when the crash happened. His probation officer told the judge Rios had been missing for months, and had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. Rios’ father appeared in juvenile court Tuesday. He said the teen’s mother has custody, and although he pays child support, he said he has not been able to see his son. Rios’ probation officer stated that Rios’ mother has custody, but they have not been able to find her, or get in contact with her, for months. Rios’ father said just two years ago, Rios was playing football and doing well in school. The father asked the judge to release his son to his care. “I would like to take care of my son. I want to force him to do right,” Rios’ father said. The judge ruled that Rios would be held with no bond until the warrant out of Sandoval County is resolved.
