On the evening of Saturday, January 27, 2024, a fatal shooting occurred at Weldon’s Laundromat on Crater Lake Avenue in Medford, Oregon. Officers arrived about two minutes after reports of shots fired at approximately 5:50 p.m. and found 51-year-old Justin William Keaton inside with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators quickly identified an 18-year-old suspect, Jesus Armando Pena Jr., wanted in connection with Keaton’s killing. Pena is described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 7 inches, 175 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, and was reported to have been an escapee from the Oregon Youth Authority who had recently been living in the local area. Detectives executed search warrants on Fairmount Street and Thomas Road but did not locate him there.

Anyone with information on Pena’s whereabouts or the shooting is asked to contact the Medford Police Department.
