Abel Alvarado Martínez, 24, was fatally shot on April 7, 2024 in the driveway of his home in the 200 block of Ouida Street in Irving, Texas. Officers responding to a disturbance call found Martínez with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene after life-saving efforts.

Family members say the shooting followed a dispute with former tenants who had been renting a guest house on the Martínez property. Those tenants, including 32-year-old Erik Natanael Amador Godoy and his siblings, had been evicted after failing to pay rent and allegedly causing damage to the family’s vehicles. When Martínez confronted them about the damages, the confrontation escalated and he was shot.

Authorities identified Amador Godoy as the primary suspect and reported he was last seen driving a dark gray Toyota Corolla with Texas plate SWD 0839 and a large #TodasMienten decal on the back window; an arrest warrant was also issued for his 18-year-old brother Franklin Amador. If anyone has information about Abel, the vehicle, or the suspects’ whereabouts, please come forward.
