Eldder Santiago Bautista, 33, was found shot and dead on the front porch of a Ross Creek Road residence near Waldron, Arkansas, after a witness reported a shooting on the evening of November 27, 2022. Deputies from the Scott County Sheriff’s Office and state police discovered his body about 8:45 p.m., and his remains were sent to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory for determination of cause and manner of death.

Investigators focused on a man believed to have been staying at the residence, 33-year-old Luis Gabriel Olivares. Later that same night a state trooper who had responded to the shooting located Olivares near the home carrying a rifle; he was arrested and taken to the Scott County Jail for questioning by Arkansas State Police special agents. As of the next day, no formal charges had been filed while the homicide investigation continued.

Does anyone who knew Bautista or was in the Ross Creek Road area that evening have information that could help investigators?
