Leo Badillo, 42, of Lubbock, Texas, was shot and killed outside his home on October 14, 2014. The shooting occurred early in the morning in his driveway; he was taken to University Medical Center but died of his injuries. Badillo worked long hours at a local Wienerschnitzel, was a popular karaoke singer, and was father to four children.

Police found a suspect vehicle near the scene and arrested 27-year-old Elizabeth Martinez at an EZ Mart convenience store. Martinez was charged with Badillo’s murder and later admitted to the shooting, saying she was upset with him; she received a 40-year prison sentence. Samuel Ramirez, identified as Martinez’s husband, was arrested at the scene and later released; he faced charges for endangering their children after bringing them to the scene.

Badillo’s family described him as cheerful and hardworking and publicly expressed forgiveness toward Martinez. Does anyone have information about Leo’s life in Lubbock or memories to share that could help preserve his story?
