Alejandro Martinez was 36 when he was found dead in Houston on July 31, 2017. His death is listed among the roughly 269 homicides recorded in Houston that year, a figure that reflected a persistently high level of violent crime in the city, including numerous shootings.

The case is one of many from 2017 that investigators faced with limited evidence or few willing witnesses, which complicated efforts to identify and charge those responsible. The Houston Police Department and Crime Stoppers encouraged members of the public to submit tips to assist investigations.
