At Rest

Deadly force
Martinez shot a relative during an argument at his home. The relative escaped and called police. The SWAT team went to Martinez' home, where they found him violent, suicidal and pressing a gun to his head. Police tried to talk Martinez down, but instead he pointed the gun at them. They opened fire, killing him on the spot. The 10th Judicial District Attorney's Office declared the shooting justified.
This record exists so that Frankie Martinez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
