Joshua James Martinez, 17, was one of two men found dead from gunshot wounds inside a pickup truck on West Orman Avenue in Pueblo, Colorado, on May 2, 2022. The other victim was 26-year-old William Butzin; police later ruled both deaths a double homicide after responding to calls of shots fired that early Monday morning.

Joshua was remembered by his family as respectful, a basketball fan who liked brand-name clothing, and a supporter of the Pittsburg Steelers and the Denver Broncos. His death left an extensive family — parents, siblings, and grandparents — grieving and searching for answers.

The Pueblo Police Department’s Crimes Against Persons Unit and Crime Scene Investigation Unit opened an investigation. No suspects, motives, or arrests have been publicly reported and the circumstances leading up to the shooting remain unclear. If anyone has information about Joshua, William, or the events on West Orman Avenue that night, please come forward.
