FL - Ruskin, Body found burning in a field near Will Scarlett Ave., Hillsborough County, Apr 15, 2023 - Efrain Ibarra-Barcenas *arrest*

Thank you for the update!!! I wonder if they are waiting to apprehend #2, who appears to be the primary aggressor, before announcing.
I’m thinking #2 is on the run or in hiding. I wonder if #1 is talking now. Nothing like a jail cell to put your crime in perspective. I need to go back and read more. I read something about a leg monitor if out on bail. But I couldn’t confirm he (#1) actually got bail. JMO

Suicide is possible but that’s not a strong feeling for me.

For those interested in reading online court records describing this crime, here is how you access them. My suspicion is when LE gets everything wrapped up, then they'll probably make an official announcement. Thus, I am not posting the victim name or perp(s) or witness names. I did check in with a mod to ensure I was following TOS.

Warning - Affidavit and warrants are very detailed and graphic.

1 arrested in connection to burning body found in Hillsborough County field; 2nd suspect at large

"RUSKIN, Fla. (WFLA) — The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said it has arrested a suspect in connection to a burned body that was found in a field in Ruskin."

"On April 21, deputies arrested Christian Segura-Alvarez, 20, on charges of second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence relating to a capital felony in connection with the crime, the sheriff’s office said. Officials said they waited to announce the arrest in order to give investigators more time to try to arrest another suspect."

"Investigators said aside from Segura-Alvarez, they are searching for a second suspect in this case: Carlos Almaraz-Barbosa."

It was an Hispanic male, named Efrain Ibarra-Barcenas, 44. Mr. Ibarra- Barcenas was tied, stabbed, I'm not sure if shot too, and then set on fire.

RIP EIB

RIP EIB
It mentions firearm on the charges list. I'm sure we'll hear more detail once Perp #2 is arrested.

I noticed all the documents now have to be paid for. I never actually downloaded anything when they were available unfortunately.

I just checked again and the documents (search warrants and affidavit) are still available for free.

I’ll try later today when I get on my laptop. I had clicked on the icon in the left column but no luck getting them to open. Then I clicked on the icon in the Certified column and you had to buy them.

Just saw the crime scene. No wonder the person believed it was a mannequin and called 911 because... It's never a mannequin!
Prayers for the caller and the first responders.

ETA: MOO JMO
What in the Lyra Jade is going on here? Why do they ALWAYS think it’s a mannequin?! If it looks like a body it’s probably a body. Any other info regarding this UID?

So he’s been identified?!
That was quick! Rest in Peace, Efrain. It’s so awful what those two pieces of human trash did to you. :(
