Pedro Martinez

Deadly force

Deputies went to the mobile home of Pedro Martinez after his girlfriend called the sheriff's office to report a domestic disturbance. She told a dispatcher that Martinez was very drunk and armed with a gun. When deputies arrived at the home, they looked inside and saw Martinez load a pistol and fire four shots into the floor near another person, police said. Deputy Hampton Jenkins fired a single shot at Martinez when he saw the suspect raise his gun toward a man sitting in a chair. The bullet struck Martinez in the head, killing him.
