Gail E. Martinez, 52, was killed in Sacramento on April 9, 2015. Investigators say she was brutally attacked in her home; evidence at the scene showed a violent struggle and forensic analysis found multiple injuries consistent with blunt-force trauma. Authorities reported signs that her assailant had struck her with a shovel, run over her with a vehicle, and attempted to set her body on fire.

Law enforcement identified her adult son, John Martinez, as a primary suspect and arrested him on murder charges. The case drew widespread attention in Sacramento because of the severity of the attack and the close family relationship between victim and suspect. Very little is publicly known about motive or events leading up to the assault.

Did anyone in Sacramento know Gail, her family, or have information about what happened that night?
