On May 1, 2021, 17-year-old Angel Martinez of Adelanto, California, was shot inside his home on the 10700 block of Joshua Street and later died at the hospital. Deputies arrived just before noon after a report of a shooting and found Martinez with a gunshot wound.

Authorities say 20-year-old Tyrese Lawrence of Victorville had been in the house earlier during a verbal argument, left, then returned armed. Law enforcement allege he fired into the occupied home from the road, forced his way inside and shot Martinez before fleeing. Law enforcement located and arrested Lawrence in Barstow the next morning; he was booked at the Central Detention Center on murder with bail set at $1.75 million. Reports note prior arrests for assault and robbery and mention he was suspected in an unrelated allegation of illicit sexual activity with a minor, without a recorded conviction.

The family set up a GoFundMe to help cover funeral costs and described Angel as a wonderful son, brother and friend. Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators. Does anyone have information about Angel, his activities that day, or the neighborhood that could help the inquiry?
