On January 30, 2023, at about 11:08 p.m., Littlefield police responded to a residence on Cole Street and found 30-year-old Edward Jimenez Jr. deceased from a gunshot wound. His vehicle was reported stolen and was found abandoned the next day. The Littlefield Police Department and the Texas Rangers’ Company C opened a joint investigation. A 17-year-old Littlefield resident, named in reports as Edwin Gutierrez, was later identified as a suspect; he was interviewed and arrested on May 3, 2023, and booked into the Lamb County Jail.

Edward Jimenez Jr. was born June 23, 1992, in Del Rio, Texas, and grew up in Littlefield, graduating from Littlefield High School in 2011. He was remembered by family as an adventurous jokester who liked video games, Netflix, and cruising while listening to music. He is survived by his wife, Jessica Ramirez, and their three children: Jusiah, Jenna, and Jazlyn.

Does anyone in the Littlefield area have information about Edward’s last known movements or the abandoned vehicle?
