How they died
Deadly force
Police responded to a call at 12:20 p.m. that Henry Martinez Jr. was holding a woman against her will. Martinez had a knife, and allegedly was threatening to kill 51-year-old Carlen Mercado. Police and deputies responded to a trailer home. After hours of unsuccessful negotiations with Martinez, officers used a flashbang and gas to try and flush him out of the building, but he would not come out, police say. He allegedly held a knife toward police,and they shot and killed him. Mercado was found dead inside, and had apparently been dead for some time.
