The case, which was filed on August 4, 2015, stemmed from a string of violent incidents that occurred in the Houston area. Martinez-Gonzalez was charged with several counts, including assault with intent to commit murder, use of a firearm during a crime of violence, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The trial, which began in January 2016, revealed a history of violence committed by Martinez-Gonzalez, who had multiple prior convictions for violent crimes. Prosecutors presented evidence of the defendant’s involvement in the violent incidents, including eyewitness testimony and forensic evidence.
On February 2, 2016, after a contentious trial, Martinez-Gonzalez was found guilty on all counts. The jury delivered a verdict of guilty, convicting the defendant of the charges brought against him. The court ultimately sentenced Martinez-Gonzalez to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
