19-year-old man arrested in Fabens shooting that killed teen

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A 19-year-old man was arrested and charged with murder after a fatal shooting in Fabens, according to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.

On Thursday, Jan. 29, deputies were dispatched to Fabens in response to a welfare check, after receiving reports of a person seeking help while covered in “blood and possibly armed with a handgun,” according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Once deputies arrived at the scene, they learned that a gunshot victim had been transported to Del Sol Medical Center and was later pronounced dead.

The victim was identified as 17-year-old Andrey Martinez.

Law enforcement presence was seen at Del Sol Medical Center, as the hospital was placed on a “precautionary lockdown” on Thursday evening, following the arrival of a patient, the hospital confirmed in a statement to KTSM.

KTSM crews at the scene captured multiple law enforcement units at the hospital’s emergency room area.
