ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Darrin Martinez will not spend time in prison after a fight with his father turned deadly. In February 2022, Martinez was drinking and shooting guns with family on the West Mesa. A fight broke out between Martinez and his father that ended with the death of his father.
Many witnesses did not cooperate with investigators but police believe the victim was at least partially at fault for the deadly fight. Judge Jennifer Wernersbach dismissed Martinez’s sentence leaving only 18 months of probation.
