Jesus Carmona, 29, was killed by gunfire on April 13, 2024. Officers found him on the front lawn of a residence on Sabine Street in Syracuse; he had sustained fatal gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Carmona, known to family as Bebo, was a father of three and remembered by relatives as a loving brother and uncle. He had an earlier conviction dating to January 2011, when, at 15, he was sentenced to ten years to life for his role in another person’s death.

A 16-year-old, Josue Pizarro, was arrested on May 9, 2024, and charged with murder; he was held at the Hillbrook Juvenile Detention Center. The trial ended with a hung jury, and the murder charge against Pizarro was dismissed in July 2026. As of that dismissal, the homicide of Jesus Carmona remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Carmona, his movements on Sabine Street that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what can help the investigation.
