RELATED | Teenage menace behind bars, ballistic evidence connected him to several deadly shootings A jury convicted Martinez of murder earlier this month. The sentencing took place this week, according to the district attorney’s office. In August 2023, Julian was sitting outside with his mother when Martinez opened fire from a vehicle, firing 16 rounds from a 9 mm handgun. Investigators linked shell casings from the shooting to a firearm later recovered from the same vehicle as Martinez and to another shooting scene. Social media messages also showed hostility between Martinez and Robledo and included admissions of guilt linking Martinez to the killing.

He received another 75-year sentence in that case. The sentences will run at the same time, the district attorney’s office said.
