Pedro Mena Triana was 77 when he was found shot to death inside his home on the 800 block of Ash Street in Texarkana, Arkansas. Police were called around 10 a.m. on February 12, 2024; officers described the scene as suspicious and detectives quickly treated the death as a homicide. Pedro had been a long-time Texarkana resident, born in Camajuani, Cuba, who played minor league baseball, worked for Over The Top Roofing in Redwater, Texas, and enjoyed fishing, cars, and a large extended family.

Investigators arrested DaCorey Moss on an arrest warrant at Smith Keys Apartments on the evening of February 16, 2024 in connection with the killing. Detectives continued processing evidence from the Ash Street residence; DNA taken from the scene was later entered into CODIS. In April 2025 police reported a CODIS match to Jayden Arnold and arrested him on April 16, 2025 in relation to the same February 12, 2024 homicide. The investigation remains active and authorities ask anyone with information about what happened in Pedro’s home to come forward.
