On the evening of May 5, 2024, 26-year-old Antelmo Bryan Salinas Martinez of Winston-Salem was fatally shot while driving on U.S. Highway 158 near the Yadkin River bridge, close to the Forsyth County line. Martinez and three companions had been at a youth soccer match at Truist Soccer Park in Davie County. As they left in a white Dodge Charger, a red or burgundy Dodge Charger with a plastic-covered driver’s side rear window and a rear spoiler began following them. Occupants of the red Charger opened fire as the white Charger crossed the bridge; Martinez, the driver, was struck and pronounced dead at the scene.
A 17-year-old female passenger was also shot, treated at a hospital, and released; two other passengers were unharmed. The suspects fled toward Winston-Salem in the red Dodge Charger and no arrests have been announced. Martinez was remembered by his family as a hardworking man who loved cars, hoped to grow his plumbing business, and cherished time with family and friends; funeral services were held on May 11. Has anyone who was at Truist Soccer Park that evening or who saw the vehicles on U.S.
Highway 158 come forward with information?
