The two suspects charged with the murder of a Sag Harbor man in Riverhead last month allegedly lured the victim to a secluded area with the intention of robbing him and then beat him with a “blunt force object,” according to the felony criminal complaint filed in Riverhead Town Justice Court.
The younger defendant, Tyara Lemus, 18, allegedly admitted to authorities taking part in the robbery, according to the court document.

Update (11:30 a.m.): Two suspects charged with second-degree murder were remanded without bail during brief court appearances Thursday morning. (See updated story here.)
Alcides Lopez-Cambara, 40, and Tyara Lemus, 18, both entered pleas of not guilty at their arraignments before Riverhead Judge Lori Hulse.
Neither the assistant district attorney nor the defendant’s attorneys shed any light on the killing during the arraignment.
They are both due to appear in court again Dec. 15 in what would be a virtual court appearance.
