Wendy Martinez, 45, a hospital assistant, was shot and killed in her Concourse Village apartment in the Bronx on the evening of November 24, 2018. She was with her 15-year-old son when someone knocked; as she looked through the peephole a fatal shot struck her in the face. She was pronounced dead at the scene shortly before 10 p.m.

Investigators and a private family-hired investigator soon considered that Martinez may not have been the intended target. Her older son, Brian Solano, was facing a murder charge stemming from a 2014 incident and had been released from jail about a year before her killing. The family reportedly had received death threats for over two years as pre-trial hearings in Solano’s case proceeded. Surveillance video from the building shows a man holding an umbrella walking the hall, disappearing briefly, then fleeing after the gunshot; the suspect has not been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.

Wendy Martinez is remembered by family and friends as a hardworking, dedicated mother. Does anyone who lived in Concourse Village in late 2018 or who recognizes the person in the hallway footage have information to share?
