Brenda Lee Martinez, 37, was fatally shot on August 11, 2018, while working as a bartender at the Extra Point Bar and Grill on East 100th Avenue in Thornton, Colorado. The shooting occurred after a patron, Gary Lynn Wideman, 38, who had been ejected following a brawl, went to his vehicle, retrieved a handgun, and returned to open fire into the kitchen area.

Surveillance footage reportedly shows multiple shots fired as customers dove for cover or fled; three other people were wounded during the attack. Prosecutors described Wideman’s return with a firearm after his family had already left the bar as evidence the shooting was not in self-defense.

Does anyone have additional information about Brenda or was at the bar that night who can help clarify what happened?
