Maurice Dominique Martinez was 28 when he was shot multiple times inside an apartment on Portage Court on the city’s southeast side of Indianapolis in the early morning hours of April 29, 2017. He was taken to Eskenazi Hospital and died shortly after arrival. The shooting prompted a homicide investigation that led detectives to charge 27-year-old Briana Michelle Wilson with murder.

Wilson initially agreed to plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter under a deal that would have capped an executed sentence at 15 years. At the plea hearing she testified she had shot Martinez in self-defense, and the judge rejected the plea because that testimony raised the issue of self-defense. The case proceeded to jury trial, where the prosecution introduced testimony that Martinez had been shot twice in the back. The jury convicted Wilson of murder; she was sentenced to 55 years in prison with 10 years suspended. The Court of Appeals of Indiana later affirmed the conviction.

Does anyone have information about Martinez’s last known movements or who else might have been at the Portage Court apartment that night?
