Officers were called out to the scene around 9:15 a.m. Saturday to help an injured person, and they found Martinez had been shot. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

During their investigation that day, police went to the 300 block of Pleasantview Drive, where they said they had "located and identified the shooter."
