J. Jesus Peña Sandoval was 59 when he was killed in Little Rock on November 22, 2016. A Hispanic/Latino man who had emigrated from Mexico, he supported himself doing odd jobs and was working to remove flooring inside an apartment at 220 North Taylor Street when he was attacked, robbed, and shot. Officers found him at the scene; he died of fatal gunshot wounds. Detectives initially described the suspect as armed and dangerous and appealed for information, but later compiled records show no suspect has been publicly identified and no arrest reported.

Obituaries record services at St. Edwards Catholic Church and online memorials mark his name among victims of gun violence. The homicide remains an open case. If anyone knew Peña Sandoval, worked with him, or was in midtown Little Rock that rainy afternoon, please come forward with anything that might help investigators.
