The perp was parked and waiting for her.

Authorities say Eleticia had just returned to her home on Harbor near Market Street around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday after visiting family members when she was killed.

Surveillance video shows the suspect confront Eleticia, then open fire, shooting her three times as she was unlocking her gate.

The woman's husband, Felipe, and their grandchildren were inside the home at the time. They heard the gunshots but could not save her.

"Our complainant seems to be an innocent mother, grandmother. She works locally here in the neighborhood, and it is a very, very tragic incident," HPD Sgt. Thomas Simmons said.


Houston police told ABC13 a small car was seen parked in front of an abandoned home next door. It is believed the shooter was in the car when the victim pulled up.

This is similar to another recent case out of Houston.

I noticed both victims were shot three times. With Elizabeth being shot one more time as she was lying on the ground.

WOW, I wonder if she had an "issue" with any kids at the school?
Not saying that she was looking for it, but some parents think their kids are gold and can not do wrong.
I hope they find the perp.
How horrible for her grandkids to be there.

Grandchildren and husband were in the house, daughter lives there also. Wonder if there was a custody issue?

From one of the articles I got this:

Me and my brother went to this school and my kids also went to this school. She volunteered, she lost her job and then she went back to volunteering just because she loved the school and the kids," said Roxanna.

I wonder where she worked when she lost her job?

So similar to the Barraza case. The suspect confronts the victim in the driveway and then executes them. But, it seems so personal.

My sleuthing self has a major headache, one thing I’d do if I felt better would be to see if any of the appearances Liz made for a particular child was a child from the same school Eleticia volunteered at.

I’d love to know where she worked before, and where she went to church.

Also, anyone know what name Eleticia went by? Was it Eleticia or Leticia?

Also in the video when they were talking about video description and getting one, did you find odd they zoomed in on a white Nissan Logo?

Reward of up to $15,000 offered after driveway murder of Eleticia Martinez

Not a lot to report here other than family raised $10k and Crimestoppers $5k as a reward for help finding Eleticia's killers. They have no clue as to "why or how this could happened."

Hoping for a break in this case.

Bumping for Eleticia and her family.

Checking in b/c of similarities.

Bumping to see if anyone has seen or heard of any new developments.
I keep thinking this and Elizabeth Barraza's case may be related. Very strange that both are still unsolved.

I know, I keep wondering also. Both have so many similarities. I haven't heard anything on either case, which is so sad to me

Thinking of Eleticia!

Bumping for any news.

I found this article that calls this murder a drive-by shooting.
