On the night of October 24, 2015, in Walla Walla, Washington, a burst of gunfire outside a local tavern killed 23-year-old Juan Pedro Martinez. Another man, Andrew Solis, was wounded in the shooting. Law enforcement described the incident as gang-related; investigators said Solis had previous ties to the gang while reports indicated Martinez had no gang affiliation.

In the days after the shooting, four men were arrested and charged with murder, assault, and intimidating a witness: Emanuel A. Pantaleon, brothers Birzavit Carmona-Hernandez and Antonio Carmona-Hernandez, and Roberto R. Arroyo. Roberto Arroyo, then 26, later pleaded guilty to murder and assault as part of a plea agreement and in June 2016 was sentenced to over 29 years in prison, with a firearm enhancement; during sentencing Arroyo shouted obscenities at the judge and police officers.

Does anyone have information about Martinez’s final hours at the tavern or recall seeing him that night?
