Martia Flint was 24 when she and three others were killed in Rockford, Illinois, on December 20, 2014. A certified dental assistant and the mother of two young boys, Tobias and Tyrone Smith III, Martia was described as devoted to her family and her work. The killings took place in the apartment she shared with her boyfriend, Demontae Rhodes, and her sons; all four victims died of gunshot wounds in what investigators called an execution-style attack.

Investigators identified Martia’s ex-boyfriend, Calvin L. Carter III, as the primary suspect. Reports in the days before the killings indicated a history of domestic violence and controlling behavior, and phone and text exchanges between Martia and Carter were cited during the probe. Martia had recently ended the relationship with Carter and rekindled things with Demontae Rhodes, a detail prosecutors highlighted as a possible motive.

Does anyone have information about Martia’s life in Rockford or saw activity around her apartment in the days before December 20, 2014?
