On the evening of November 30, 2020, in Billings, Montana, 30-year-old Manuel J. Martinez, known to some as Manny, was found fatally shot near Fourth Street West and Broadwater Avenue at about 9 p.m. Responding officers discovered him lying in the road; he had been shot and then struck by a passing truck.

Investigators faced multiple obstacles: little usable physical evidence at a public scene, a victim without a cell phone, and a history of substance abuse and estrangement from family and friends that complicated efforts to establish motive or recent contacts. Police recovered an alleyway security video showing a roughly six-foot-tall man in a dark hoodie, baseball cap, white shoes and a backpack running from the area, but the footage was too poor to identify the person and was not released. As of summer 2021 no arrests had been announced, and a reward was offered for information that leads to an arrest.

Did anyone in the Billings area see or hear anything around Fourth Street West and Broadwater Avenue that night or recognize the person in the description?
