Jose Martinez was 23 when he was fatally shot in Houston on May 10, 2010. The shooting happened about 11:30 p.m. in the 7000 block of Bissonnet Street; officers who responded found Martinez with multiple gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses saw a dark-colored vehicle speed away immediately after the shooting. Investigators said the killing may have stemmed from a dispute that escalated into violence, but despite extensive interviews and evidence collection no suspects were immediately identified. Family and friends remembered Martinez as a hardworking young man with career aspirations, and community leaders used the case to press for more efforts to curb violence and support at-risk residents.

Anyone who was in the area that night or has information about the dark-colored vehicle is asked to contact the Houston Police Department.
