Today marks a somber anniversary for the family of Paul Martinez, who held a vigil at the site where he was found deceased a year ago on Sweetwater Lane near W. Gulf Bank in Houston. Paul Martinez, aged 37 at the time of his death, was discovered on Sweetwater Lane close to Saddle Rock Drive in the Aldine area, leading to an investigation by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. Initially treated as a pedestrian hit-and-run case, the details surrounding Martinez’s death remain unclear, leaving his family in search of answers and closure.
The family revealed that shortly before his untimely death, Martinez had visited a friend’s memorial in the vicinity.
