Luis Martinez was 27 when he was shot and killed in Lubbock, Texas, on May 25, 2019. Emergency responders found him near 37th Street and Avenue P with a gunshot wound to his back; he was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries. Witnesses said Martinez exited the driver’s seat of a four-door passenger car, told them he had been shot in the back, and then collapsed. The suspected shooter was seen moving from the passenger seat to the driver’s seat and driving away.

Investigators arrested 28-year-old Ivain Ray Jimenez the day after the shooting; he was charged with Martinez’s murder, pleaded guilty, and received a 45-year prison sentence. Security footage and witness accounts placed Jimenez and Martinez together earlier that day at a pawn shop, and footage reportedly showed Jimenez driving the vehicle in which Martinez was shot. Melinda Rodriguez, identified as Jimenez’s girlfriend at the time, was arrested for tampering with evidence after admitting she disposed of the firearm in a dumpster.
