On New Year’s Eve 2017, about 9:30 p.m., 22-year-old Jeffrie Santana Peguero was found inside a minivan near 170 Reservoir Street in Lawrence, Massachusetts, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He died of those injuries, the city’s 11th homicide that year.

Santana Peguero was born and raised in Bani, Dominican Republic, and moved to Lawrence in 2014. He worked as a sales clerk at Emmanuel Market on Park Street and was saving money to support his sisters back home. Family remembered him as caring, fond of his young cousin, and hardworking, often taking extra shifts.

By January 2018 investigators arrested 49-year-old Jose Urena, a Lawrence resident, at his Warwick Street home; he was expected to be arraigned on a murder charge in Lawrence District Court. If anyone knew Jeffrie or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
