On the morning of June 17, 2018, 89-year-old Rose Martinez was killed inside her South Salt Lake home near 450 E. Stanley Ave. Family members, unable to reach the couple, called police after an unknown man answered the phone.

Officers arrived before 10:35 a.m. and encountered a tense standoff; Abe Martinez refused to negotiate and a shot was fired from inside the house. A SWAT response followed. While officers were positioning outside, Abe Martinez killed his grandmother. He then shot and seriously injured his grandfather. Officers engaged Abe Martinez and he was killed at the scene. Authorities later found Rose Martinez deceased and the husband was transported to hospital in critical condition, later upgraded to serious and stable. Investigators concluded Abe Martinez was the sole perpetrator, and the district attorney later ruled the officers’ use of deadly force justified.

Does anyone have additional information about Rose Martinez or remember the neighborhood that morning?
