Donations are being sought to support the family of 17-year-old Cyrus Hurtado, who was shot and killed by two Santa Cruz sheriff's deputies in Boulder Creek on July 9. Hurtado, who reportedly suffered from mental issues, was killed after a family dispute at his grandparents' house where he lived, and their home and possessions were severely damaged by the deputies' gunfire.

Questions have arisen following the press conference when Sheriff Jim Hart first released the details of the killing, such as whether the officers who killed Cyrus Hurtado were trained in Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) and when was their last class on how to deal with people experiencing mental illness. These details have been glossed over by the Sheriff's Department, the DA, and the media.

A GoFundMe account has been established to help pay for memorial services, and donations to the family can also be made in person at the Liberty Bank branches in either Felton or Boulder Creek, using account #02-179538.
