Ulises Martinez was 17 and from Texarkana, Texas when he was shot once in the chest during a street fight on Sidney Drive on October 25, 2021. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The confrontation involved several teenagers and reportedly followed an earlier conflict between one of the suspects and Ulises at Texas High School; both had been suspended prior to the fatal encounter.

Texarkana Police identified brothers Kamorion Meachem and Kieran Meachem as the primary suspects and arrested them on murder charges; they were booked into the Bi-State Jail on $1 million bond. The case drew attention locally amid concerns about youth violence and school-based conflicts.

Ulises is remembered by teachers and peers for his devotion to family, his passion for soccer, and a strong work ethic. Anyone with information about the fight on Sidney Drive or the events leading up to October 25, 2021, is asked to come forward.
