Miguel Jara, 48, was found dead in Tulsa in the autumn of 1998 with several gunshot wounds. Accounts differ slightly on timing: one report gives October 14, 1998, while another says officers discovered a body under the 51st Street bridge by the Arkansas River on October 19, 1998, around 1:00 PM, and that the victim had been dragged to that location.

Investigators identified a suspect, Jesus Munoz, born August 6, 1977, and a Tulsa County arrest warrant for first-degree murder was issued. Munoz is believed to have fled to Mexico; an Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution warrant was issued in 2002 and dismissed in 2008 because he remained at large. The Tulsa warrant remains active. Reports indicate Jara may have been a supplier in the drug trade, which investigators suggested could be related to the killing.

A complicating detail: a separate Tulsa cold case documents a man also named Miguel Jara shot on October 28, 1997, who died three days later. It is unknown whether the two cases are connected. If anyone knew either Miguel Jara or has information about the 1998 shooting or the whereabouts of Jesus Munoz, please share what is known.
