Peter Barges, 39, was found beaten to death in the early hours of January 22, 2009, in his driveway outside his home near 71st and Lake Streets in Omaha. What began as an assault call to police revealed a fatal beating that left neighbors and family stunned; his obituary the next day noted he was a son and father mourned by many.

Detectives said they believed more than one person was involved. Within the first phase of the investigation police arrested 21-year-old Armando Gomez as an accessory to a felony related to the killing, but investigators described the primary attacker as not in custody. Family-run advocacy pages and fugitive roundups have named Rafael Jimenez as the suspected killer and say a warrant was issued, while official updates left the case listed among unsolved Omaha homicides with a Crime Stoppers reward attached.

If anyone knew Peter, saw activity near 71st and Lake Streets that night, or has information about the people named, please share what can help investigators.
