Eduardo Pedroza, 38, of Fort Worth, Texas, was found dead on January 9, 2021, on the 5700 block of Teague Road in southeast Tarrant County after a passing motorist discovered him. Investigators concluded his death resulted from a gunshot wound sustained during an attempted private firearm purchase. Pedroza had arranged to buy a gun from Jacoby Jones, 27, of Irving. According to the investigation, Jones and accomplices drove off without handing over the weapon; Pedroza climbed onto the back of their vehicle and was shot from the passenger window, dying at the scene.

Tarrant County investigators collected evidence and interviewed witnesses as they worked the case. Authorities described the killing as an isolated incident that did not pose an ongoing threat to the public. Does anyone have information about Pedroza, the location on Teague Road, or that day that could help clarify what happened?
