Deadly force
Confronted by an officer, Martinez fired an AK-47 hidden under his duster and fled to Sungate Apartments, where he once worked. SWAT officers searched room-by-room for Martinez. Martinez shot at them. The officers shot at Martinez, resulting in a 30-minute gunfight. After evacuating the area, officers used a pole camera to find Martinez. Shot in the head by Corporal Toby Hudson, he was slumped over his rifle on an apartment balcony.
