Francisco Ortega Martinez, 35, was shot and later died after being found in the driveway of his southeast Houston home on July 17, 2016, at about 3:25 a.m. He and his girlfriend had returned to the 7300 block of Lamar Street when someone nearby yelled for money at Martinez; his girlfriend stayed in the vehicle and called police instead of returning to the house. Officers discovered Martinez with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and later died.

Investigators say a dark-colored sedan was following Martinez westbound on Lamar Street just before the shooting and then sped eastbound immediately afterward. No suspects have been identified and no arrests have been announced. If anyone has information about the vehicle, the incident, or the people involved, contact Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
