Woah!

Also, that's the second time very recently this has happened where a missing teen girl is found and then arrested for a murder that happened either leading to their being missing or while they were missing (in this other case, which I'm struggling to find, though there is as WS thread that was reopened once she was arrested) she and the guy she was on the run with had killed his mother.

It's not this one, but this was a year ago almost to the week WA - Gabriel Davies, 16, Found Safe - Then Charged With Murder, Olympia, 30 Aug 2022

Such crazy whirlwind situations.

ETA: Figured it out! Canton teen found in Mexico with 33-year-old man confesses to murder of his mother, prosecutor says Not finding her original thread when she was missing, but here's the later thread about the case OH - Nicole Jones, 53, homicide, Sylvania, 5 May 2023

For something we don't see too often - teens seemingly genuinely missing (and in this current case and the OH one I just linked, both deemed extremely endangered, not "just" missing) at the start - to have two in a matter of months with similar endings, and another virtually a year to the week of this most recent one is wild.

What in the hell happened here? I spent the evening over at my girls’ and left my iPad at home. How long was I gone? Our victim turned fugitive in a matter of hours? Minutes?. Oh my goodness. Another crazy ride via these people’s lives and actions. I guess we better buckle up…


But later on Friday arrest warrants were issued for Navarro and 21-year-old Yordy Martinez who were both named as suspects in the murder of Arturo Pena, 21, who was found fatally shot in a car Tuesday morning.

Martinez was initially named as a suspect in Navarro’s disappearance and was still at large Friday.

The Dallas Police refused to provide details concerning how Navarro and Martinez may be connected to Pena’s murder, when reached out by The Messenger for additional information
 
Natalie Navarro

Natalie Navarro, 17, is suspected of killing Mesquite resident Arturo Pena, investigators in the Dallas suburb of Garland said. On the run is Yordy Martinez, 21, after Pena's body was found in a vehicle when a passerby told authorities he appeared to be passed out.

Officers discovered a gunshot wound on Pena - he had been missing since August 27 - when they arrived at the scene on August 29. As the investigation developed, Navarro became the subject of an amber alert issued by Dallas Police on Thursday

"The reason why this happened, we've yet to totally determine that. We hope to get more when we talk to Natalie to see exactly what was going on if these persons knew each other, if they had a relationship, if there was a falling out," said Garland Police Lieutenant Richard Moldonado.

Very few public photos. Not sure what his hand signs are, or what having a gold grill means. The bling necklace is a P in an old English gothic font.
