Fabian Martinez was 23 and a resident of Coachella, California, when he was shot dead on the night of October 26, 2014. He was found lying in the middle of the street on Camino Las Brisas with a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene after an argument with his on-again, off-again girlfriend. The argument intensified when Martinez refused to let her into his house, and the confrontation continued outside.

Investigators say two men, Noel Hernandez and Carlos Martinez, both 22 at the time, confronted Fabian. Hernandez reportedly put Martinez in a headlock while Carlos threatened him with a metal object. Hernandez then produced a 9mm handgun and shot Fabian in the head. The handgun was later recovered near the Spotlight 29 Casino, wrapped in a shirt that contained Hernandez’s DNA. Both men were arrested and charged; after trial and two days of jury deliberations they were convicted of murder, and Hernandez was also found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon.

If anyone knew Fabian, his movements that night, or saw activity on Camino Las Brisas on October 26, 2014, please come forward with information.
