Found Her Dad's Killer After 26 years
Joselyn Martinez
This is a great story, I'm glad the killer is in custody and hopefully justice will be served. This is a good example for all those criminals out there who think they got away with murder (pun intended).
QUOTE Joselyn Martinez was just 9 years old when her dad, Jose Martinez, was gunned down in front of his Bronx restaurant in November 1986. The police immediately identified the shooter as 16-year-old Justo Santos, but Santos managed to slip out of New York and flee to the Dominican Republic. Twenty-six years later, long after the New York police had lost track of the shooter, Joselyn found her father's killer.
"I always kept the name in mind," Joselyn, now a singer and aspiring actress, told The New York Post on Tuesday. "After so many years of not being caught, it wasn't a reality to me anymore."
Jose, then 41, kicked Santos and two friends out of the Dominican Express restaurant on Dyckman Street in Inwood after they reportedly started sexually harassing his wife, Idalia Martinez. Witnesses told police that, once on the sidewalk, Santos pulled out a pistol and shot Martinez in front of his wife. Idalia hailed a cab and took her bleeding husband to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Columbia, where he died that night.
