On December 4, 2023, at about 1:15 a.m., Dallas police responded to a reported shooting in the 1300 block of Hartsdale Drive. Officers found two men with gunshot wounds outside a residence; both were taken to a local hospital. Twenty-five-year-old Luis Manuel Martinez, born September 9, 1998, in Dallas, died of his injuries. A 48-year-old man was treated and listed in stable condition.

The investigation led to the arrest of 21-year-old Juan Martinez, who was charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the shootings. Authorities have not disclosed the relationship, if any, between Juan and Luis Martinez, nor a motive for the attack. Family and friends remember Luis for his vibrant personality; an online memorial and a private funeral arranged by Jeter & Son Funeral Homes have followed his death.

Does anyone have information about that night or knew Luis and can help shed light on what happened?
