According to the indictment, Navarro was also allegedly involved in attempting to rob Pena’s belongings at the time of the shooting. The tragic incident occurred during the course of the robbery. It is believed that Navarro had planned to rob Pena with the assistance of a 21-year-old male accomplice named Yordy Martinez.
The Garland Police Department, which is leading the investigation, has revealed that Navarro had spoken to Martinez online but had never met him in person prior to the murder. However, authorities suspect that Navarro may not be entirely truthful about her relationship with Martinez.
Further investigation has revealed that Navarro and Pena had met in person two weeks before the shooting. Police believe that this meeting was part of Navarro’s plan to set up the victim. The exact details of their encounter remain unknown.
On August 29, officers from the Garland Police Department responded to a report of a passed-out person in a vehicle at 342 West Oates Road. Upon arrival, they discovered Pena’s lifeless body, with evidence indicating that he had been shot. Pena had been reported missing by his family on August 27.

Following their investigation, Garland detectives identified Navarro and Martinez as persons of interest in Pena’s murder. An Amber Alert was issued for Navarro, and she was later located near the Mexican border by law enforcement officials. She was taken into custody, while Martinez remains at large.
The tragic loss of Arturo Pena has left his family and loved ones devastated. A GoFundMe page titled “Arturo Peña’s ‘Home to Heaven’ Memorial Service” has been set up to support his family during this difficult time.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about Martinez’s whereabouts or any details related to the incident to contact the Garland Police Department at 972-485-4840.
As this case continues to unfold, it serves as a grim reminder of the potential dangers associated with online interactions. Law enforcement agencies and online platforms must continue to prioritize the safety of their users and take necessary measures to prevent such tragic outcomes.
