Hi everyone,

I am Arturo's brother and I would be very grateful if anyone could provide any information that might help close the case.

I heard that the red truck was found in Texas a few days after the crime.

Arturo had a close friend from Honduras nicknamed ´´Morro´´ which liven in Charlotte at that time, I think he might have some clue.

Arturo Perez Ibarra, 28, was found dead in his apartment at the Birchcroft Apartments in Charlotte, North Carolina, on May 2, 2007. His roommate discovered the body after returning home around 9 p.m. Police did not immediately release how Ibarra was killed. Authorities were also seeking a missing vehicle connected to the case: a red 1999 Ford F-150 with a large water tank in the bed that may have been removed.

Ibarra’s death was one of several violent incidents in Charlotte that year, as investigators continued to collect leads. There were no immediate arrests and the investigation remained open. If anyone saw that pickup truck, noticed activity at the Birchcroft Apartments that night, or has other information, please share what is known with investigators. Could anyone who lived near Birchcroft in May 2007 or who remembers a red 1999 Ford F-150 with a water tank come forward?
