LITTLE ROCK, AR – Police released the identities of two men stabbed to death in a trailer on Stanton Road Sunday night.

The victims are 25-year-old Luis Martinez and 41-year-old Esteban Mendez-Martinez (no relation). Little Rock police say 51-year-old Froilan Reyes is wanted on two counts of first degree murder and one count of aggravated assault in connection to the deaths.

In the police report, Martinez’ girlfriend says the three men were together drinking in his home at 8118 Stanton Road. At some point, “Lito” (Reyes) disrespected Martinez and Martinez asked him to leave.

The girlfriend tells police that “Lito” came back with a butcher knife and stabbed Martinez in the chest and then stabbed Mendez-Martinez several times in the chest. The girlfriend fled and called police.

The perp is probably back in Mexico by now. It's just as easy to get from here to there, as it is to get from there to here. Thanks for protecting us DHS, pres, and the "High" Court. I have friends here in central AR that had a child murdered a few years ago in CA; the perp is in El Salvador now; immune from prosecution. But when these creeps stand before their Maker; there will be no immunity! My sympathy to the families who lost loved ones.

PEACHES YOU ARE CERTAINLY RIGHT ABOUT NEEDING MORE PATROL IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS IN AND AROUND SWLR. BUT DO YOU KNOW WHY WE DONT HAVE IT LIKE CHENAL AND OTHER PLACES? ITS BECAUSE WE AS A COMMUNITY DONT HAVE THE MONEY LIKE THE OTHERS SO THERFORE THE LRPD DONT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT SWLR. YOU HAVE PROSTITUTES ALL UP AND DOWN BASELINE SELLING THEYRE BODIES FOR THE POLICE AND THAT IS WHY YOU NEVER SEE THEM DO A THING ABOUT IT. ITS SICK TO SEE THEM WALK UP TO CARS AT SHELLS, DIXIE CAFE AND EVEN THE LIQOUR STORE ON BASELINE BY WAL-MART. TOTALLY FU**ED UP

We really need support from the Southwest Patrol Division on Baseline Rd. This area has been going down for a long time. It concerns me most for the people living in the area that can't move away and don't feel safe to even come outside.
