DENVER — A woman who was found shot to death in Denver's Hampden South neighborhood late last month has been identified. Police said the suspect in her killing turned himself in Thursday, March 4.
Roxann Martinez, 31, was found around 11 p.m. on Feb. 25 after officers responded to a report of a woman who was down in the area of East Kenyon Drive and South Wabash Street. That's southwest of the intersection of South Yosemite Street and East Hampden Avenue in the Hampden South neighborhood of Denver.
DPD said officers determined at the scene that the victim, identified as Martinez, was deceased. The coroner's office later said she died of a gunshot wound and ruled her death a homicide.
On Thursday, March 4, DPD identified the suspect in Martinez's killing as 29-year-old Emmanuel Chandler. DPD said Chandler turned himself in later Thursday. Chandler is being held on suspicion of first-degree murder. Police said it appears to be the result of a domestic violence-related incident.
Anyone who might have information about the case is asked to call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.
