Police identified a second suspect involved in the fatal April 8 shooting of a man in a southwest Little Rock trailer park.
On Monday, Little Rock police spokesman Sgt. Cassandra Davis said homicide detectives have a capital-murder warrant for the arrest of Eliseo Estrada, 27, in the killing of 32-year-old Elder Hernandez at 8510 Scott Hamilton Road.
A North Little Rock man,Luis Tenorio, 18, was arrested on April 9 and charged with capital murder in Hernandez’s slaying.
Officers found Hernandez on the ground outside a trailer at 10:22 p.m. with several gunshot wounds. According to police, the shooting occurred inside the trailer. Hernandez died early the next morning at UAMS Medical Center and became the city’s fifth homicide of the year. Little Rock’s 2013 homicide toll stands at six.
Davis offered no information as to what led detectives to Estrada, nor could she elaborate on any other details of the shooting, other than to say that Estrada and Tenorio are “acquaintances.”
Estrada goes by “Stranger,” according to detectives, though Davis said she was unaware that a suspect named “Stranger” had been accused of helping Tenorio in an aggravated robbery and aggravated assault in late March in the same trailer park where Hernandez was killed.
According to detectives,Tenorio, also known by “Minino,” was one of two men who put a gun to the head of Dennis Calderon, 23, while Calderon was trying to leave his Stanton Road mobile-home park.
Police said Tenorio hopped in Calderon’s vehicle while a man identified as “Stranger” followed them in a truck, and Tenorio forced Calderon to gas up his car and then take them to a different trailer park.
According to detectives, the two suspects forced Calderon to sign the title of hiscar over to them and then drove him to the Scott Hamilton Road trailer park and beat him.
Calderon told officers that Tenorio “hit him in the face and told him if he said anything to police, he was going to kill him.”
Tenorio and “Stranger” left with Calderon’s vehicle as well as his wallet, his iPhone and $1,100 in cash, police said.
Tenorio was initially arrested on robbery and aggravated-assault warrants and then charged with capital murder, police said.
He remained in the Pulaski County jail where he was being held in lieu of a $1 million bond and a separate $700,000 bond.
Estrada is described as a having “multiple tattoos,” including “3 dots beside his left eye” and a “cross tattoo beside his right eye,” police said.
His first name also is tattooed on the right side of his neck, police said.
Estrada is considered armed and dangerous, Davis said,
