Tamara Dunn Martinez, 31, was shot multiple times and killed at her South Bexar County home off Highway 281 on the evening of March 28, 2017. Her common-law husband, James Cardona, also shot their 13-year-old daughter during the same incident; Martinez died at the scene and the girl was critically injured.

After the shooting, Cardona fled in a black Chevy Avalanche with Texas plate BT09880 and was labeled armed and dangerous. A manhunt by the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office ended with his arrest three days later at his aunt’s home in Fentress, Texas, by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force. He was charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was extradited to Bexar County.

The family publicly appealed for help locating Cardona while their granddaughter remained in critical condition. Anyone who knew Tamara or has information about the case is asked to come forward.
