On the morning of July 9, 2016, two women were ambushed and fatally shot on the southwest side of Detroit. Martha Veronica Rodriguez Rios, 42, was a passenger in a vehicle driven by 27-year-old Nay Martinez when Martha’s estranged husband, Pablo Medina, reportedly waited near a home on the 8000 block of Cahalan Street and opened fire as the car pulled up. Martinez was killed in the vehicle; Martha fled on foot but was pursued and fatally shot before she could reach safety.

Police identified Pablo Medina, then 41 and reportedly involved in divorce proceedings with Martha, as the prime suspect. After a multi-agency manhunt, officers traced Medina to an Embassy Suites hotel in Romulus, where he was found hiding in a storage closet on July 11. Authorities say he brandished a weapon at officers and was shot and killed during the standoff; no officers or bystanders were injured.

If anyone knew Martha, Nay, or has information about the events that led up to that night, please come forward.
