<\/p>\nEL PASO, Texas (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 Months after a man was found murdered in his apartment in Northeast El Paso, the victim’s father is urging the public to come forward with information that could lead to an arrest. <\/p>\n
Michael Terrell Jenkins was found shot dead in his apartment on the 8700 block of Lawson on March 17 (detectives believe he could’ve been killed in February). <\/p>\n
On Friday, KFOX14\/CBS4 spoke virtually with Michael’s father, Matt Jenkins, who said that while police work to find leads, he wants to bring awareness to the case, hoping people who might know something– or might have seen or heard something– come forward with information. <\/p>\n
