‘Dozens of people knew and worked for Tushar. Their names came up early,’ Cleveland said. ‘We were able to gather more and more information on this group.’
Sheriff Jim Hart added: ‘We had a huge suspect pool that we had to narrow down. We have the right people, we have compelling evidence. This man was sleeping in his home, people entered the home, kidnapped him, and murdered him.’
Atre was kidnapped on October 1, 2019, by three assailants at his Pleasure Point home. He was forced into his girlfriend’s white BMW SUV and driven to a property he owned in the Santa Cruz Mountains where he operated his cannabis manufacturing facility.

Atre [left] was kidnapped on October 1, 2019, by three assailants at his Pleasure Point home. He was forced into his girlfriend Rachael Emerly’s white BMW SUV and driven to a property he owned in the Santa Cruz Mountains where he operated his cannabis manufacturing facility.

Police believe multiple assailants burst into his multi-million dollar home in Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz, California. On social media Atre often posted pictures of his lavish home 

Atre was last seen getting into a white BMW SUV at 3am on the morning of Oct 1, 2019. Cops found that car seven hours later 14 miles away, with a dead body inside. 

Just hours later, he was found shot to death in the BMW on the 24000 block of Soquel San Jose Road.
Cleveland shared that the motive was robbery.
‘This was a senseless crime. These people wanted monetary gain,’ Cleveland said. ‘They were there to take monetary items from Tushar. They were armed with a rifle. This was a planned event.’
It was not explained what transpired between the time Atre was kidnapped and killed. It was also not revealed which suspect pulled the trigger.
Private citizens raised a $200,000 award for witnesses as authorities investigated the killing. An eventual release of surveillance footage showed three men approaching Atre’s home on the night of the murder. The men in the video could be seen holding a large duffel bag and a firearm.
Sheriff Hart said that cracking the case took ‘vigilance’ and ‘resilience. The surveillance footage and tips weren’t enough to identify the suspects, Cleveland added.
