On March 9, 2015, two girls were killed inside a Laredo home after a domestic violence call led to a standoff with police. Six-year-old Allysson Martinez and 16-year-old Anel Martinez were found with gunshot wounds and taken to a local hospital, where both were pronounced dead. An 80-year-old man who was in the residence was unharmed.

Officers say a standoff with a male suspect ended when law enforcement stormed the home and the suspect was fatally shot. Reports do not disclose the suspect’s identity, motive, or any confirmed prior relationship to the victims, and no additional suspects or arrests are reported.

The community later organized a fundraiser to help the family with funeral expenses. If anyone knew Allysson or Anel, or has information about the events at the Martinez residence on March 9, 2015, please come forward.
