Jonesboro Man Previously Arrested for Murder Now Accused in Armed Robbery

JONESBORO, Ark. — A suspect is facing a number of charges that include a Class Y felony punishable by up to life in prison after his arrest for alleged aggravated robbery this week in Jonesboro.

According to the probable cause affidavit, on June 9, 2025, JPD responded to a disturbance on French Street. Officers found an alleged victim with a shoulder injury and bleeding from the mouth. The victim said he was attacked by at least three males, all of whom he identified by name. He said two of the three were armed with firearms – a rifle and a handgun.

While speaking to the victim, several people fled on foot from the back of a nearby residence on Gilbert Street. Officers caught up with one of the suspects, a juvenile, whom the victim identified as one of the suspects who had assaulted him and stolen his phone.

Officers learned that Bryan Toledo resided at the Gilbert Street address and was on probation with a search waiver. Another juvenile, also identified by the victim as an attacker, was located in the same residence. Police searched the home and found the victim’s cell phone in Toledo’s bedroom directly in front of where Toledo was sitting. A black handgun was also found in a baby’s crib.

Toledo and the two juveniles were arrested.

During an interview, the affidavit says one of the juvenile suspects identified Toledo as an accomplice. The juvenile stated he was instructed to retrieve and hide the handgun in the backyard of the Gilbert Street address, but ultimately, he placed it in the crib.

The victim was interviewed at the hospital, but was lethargic and incoherent. Officers later learned he was transported to Memphis for a brain bleed.

Brayan Daniel Enriquez Toledo, 19, of Jonesboro, is facing charges including aggravated robbery, a Class Y felony; Possession of a firearm by certain persons, a Class B felony; Second-degree battery, a Class D felony; fleeing, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a Class A misdemeanor.

Bail was set by Judge David Boling at $500,000 cash or surety with a no-contact order covering the victim, and a GPS ankle monitor requirement.

Court records show Toledo was convicted of first-degree criminal mischief and second-degree assault in April of this year, taking a guilty plea in exchange for the state dropping charges of terroristic threatening, endangering the welfare of a minor, and assault. Toledo received probation in that case.

In May 2022, a 15-year-old Toledo was taken into custody after allegedly shooting and killing a 17-year-old inside a home on French Street in Jonesboro. Toledo turned himself in hours later and claimed the shooting was accidental, but investigators noted inconsistencies in his account and were unable to locate the firearm he described. He was held on a $500,000 bond and initially faced charges including first-degree murder and a juvenile probation violation.

The disposition of that case appears not to have been reported, and was not found by this reporter in online court records, possibly due to being transferred back to juvenile court. However, the PC affidavit in his latest arrest states that he was convicted in that case.

All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
