Two El Pasoans are facing murder charges in connection with the killing of 18-year-old Gabriel Angel Martinez on Father's Day.
kvia.comI can share what I found from public reporting, but I don’t have live access to all current updates right now.
Direct answer:
- The most widely reported information about Angel Zuniga Martinez concerns a 2022 Fresno County homicide case in which charges were filed against two suspects in July 2024. The prosecuting office described the alleged murder at a Halloween-season event and outlined the specific charges (including murder and accessory after the fact), with potential prison ranges if convicted [sources summarized below].
Context and notes:
- Multiple local outlets reported charges filed in 2024 against Joshua Daniel Garcia for the murder of Angel Zuniga Martinez and the attempted murder of Keytline Magana, along with charges against Jace Ramirez as an accessory after the fact. Garcia faced possible 75 years to life; Ramirez faced a smaller sentence if convicted on the accessory charge [web sources cited below].
- Arrests for Garcia occurred in July 2024; Ramirez had been arrested earlier in June 2024 but posted bond, with subsequent arraignments noted in July 2024 [web sources cited below].
What I couldn’t verify here:
- Any developments after mid-2024 (trial dates, disposition, or newer charges) since my current lookups aren’t live. If you need the very latest, I can search current news sources and court dockets for updates.
If you’d like, I can perform a quick, focused update search and pull the most recent reporting or official court records, then summarize with citations.
