Nehemiah Martin Sr. was a 25-year-old mechanic and handyman from Gary, Indiana, and the proud father of three young children. On the evening of May 7, 2022, Nehemiah was riding in a minivan with his fiancée, Selena Saenz, who was driving, and their three children, ages three, two, and 17 months. After picking up takeout around 6 p.m., another car pulled alongside the minivan, the driver gave Saenz a dirty look and then opened fire. Nehemiah was struck multiple times, including a bullet to the back of the head; he fell from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. The couple’s 17-month-old son later was found to have been shot in the arm; the two older children were not physically harmed.

Investigators focused quickly on a suspect after Nehemiah’s sister overheard people naming someone called Terry at a nearby gas station and found a Facebook profile; family members identified that profile and later selected Terry Horton from a police photo lineup. Horton was arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder and firearm enhancements.
