EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — It’s been 17 years since Fernando Martinez was gunned down inside his Northeast El Paso business, but EPPD investigators have not stopped looking for his killer.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, December 24, 2003, 44-year-old Fernando Martinez was at his Northeast business, Saygo Bakery Equipment Service, located at 4496 Titanic.
