Joe Luis Martinez, a 15-year-old Hispanic male from Dallas, Texas, was fatally shot and found in an alley near the 2800 block of West Brooklyn Avenue on June 28, 2015. He had been last seen leaving his uncle’s apartment in Oak Cliff on June 27, 2015, and his body was discovered the next day.

No arrests have been made and the case has gone cold despite the family’s efforts. Joe’s mother, Rachel Casillas, has spoken publicly about her loss and the family’s continued search for answers; they say Joe had been expressing a desire to improve his life and focus on school shortly before his death. Authorities continue to list the case as open and have asked anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Joe, saw him in Oak Cliff on June 27, 2015, or has information about the alley near West Brooklyn Avenue, please share what you know.
