Arturo Pena, 21, of Mesquite, Texas, was found dead in his vehicle at Audubon Park in Garland on August 29, 2023. He had been reported missing two days earlier. Authorities determined Pena died of a gunshot wound and the Garland Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Two people were identified as suspects: 17-year-old Natalie Navarro and 21-year-old Yordy Jordy Martinez. Navarro was the subject of an AMBER Alert issued September 1, 2023, was later located and booked into the Dallas County Jail on murder charges. A Dallas County grand jury indicted Navarro in November 2023 for capital murder, alleging her involvement in a robbery that led to Pena’s death. Martinez remained at large, with investigators saying he may have fled toward the Laredo area or into Mexico; police asked the public for help locating him.

The family and community are pursuing justice for Pena’s death. If anyone has information about Martinez’s whereabouts or details about the case, please contact the Garland Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
