Police say he was in a car and died at the scene.

Crimes Against Persons Unit detectives and Criminalistics Unit investigators went to the scene to start the investigation.

Investigators found out that Martinez had met two people at the park. Police say that one of these guys shot Martinez, and then both of them ran away from the scene.

A 17-year-old named Anthony Matthew Zubia, a 17-year-old named Z’Mari Leishaun Theus, and a 24-year-old named Alexis Faith Mora were all found to be involved in the crime.

The El Paso Police Department’s Gang Unit pulled all three people over on Monday, June 19, at Montana and Oasis.

During the traffic stop, cops say, the suspects ran away from them.

The suspects were looked for with help from the Texas Department of Public Safety, the U.S. Border Patrol Air Support, and the Rogelio Sanchez State Jail K-9 Unit.

Zubia, Theus, and Mora have been accused of killing someone. The bond for Zubia and Theus was set at $1 million. The bond for Mora was set at $750,00.
