On the evening of December 13th my brother Joselin Martinez was killed at close point range by a Bonao police officer from precinct #27. The police captain ordered officers to conduction a drug raid in search of wanted persons by the name of Freddy and Miguel. The police force came into my brother’s home where he lived with his wife Judy and their twin 6 year olds, when a parade of gunshots & loud shouting occurred.
Joselito was in his backyard on his mobile phone. Scared and uncertain of what was happening Joselito ran in the opposite direction of the house to avoid any contact with his family. As Joselito was going over a fence to the next grassy backyard he was shot in the leg and fell to the ground. As neighbors watch and describe the crime to its core. Joselito was pleading to officers for help and was unable to stand up.

A police officer (wearing a red shirt, named Johnny) asked my brother for his name and he told them Joselito. The whole incident was video taped from start to finish. That police officer realized that they had injured the wrong man. To correct their mistake and leave no witnesses that officer in the red shirt shot Joselito twice in the chest at close point range as he was pleading for help and telling the officer that he was unable to stand up.

The news media were then told that Joselito was a gangster & drug trafficker and that my brother started to shoot at them so they returned fire. My brother was alive when they picked him up and dragged him to a police truck yet he went directly to the morgue; No attempt to save him were made.

Joselito was moments from leaving to Punta Cana (5 hours away) to work as a Tourist Representative. A job he’s done for the past 10 years.

The actions that followed were a poor done cover up in the part of the police force from Police Captain to the lowest rank.

· (1) We have an immense amount witnesses; from many neighbors who were watching from all different directions to a lawyer & the city’s prosecutor. All the witnesses are willing to testify to what they saw and heard.
(2) We have the edited video released to the media and the unedited version.
(3) We have the video tape of the 2 male criminals forced to say that Joselito was part of their crime spree by way of horrific police torturing and released to the media. In this private interview the criminals say that Joselito was not part of any crimes involving them. Two men & two women (1 is pregnant) are involved in telling the story.
(4) My family & I found 3 bullet casings from the location where the deadly shots were given to Joselito, and 2 bullet casings in his backyard. A total of 5 casings found and are in my hands.
(5) We know the telephone number from which the conversation between the officers to bring the gun took place and that the gun was not tested to see if it was recently used nor did they test my brother for gun residue. That same gun witnessed leaving the station was the gun brought back to the police station as the one my brother used.
(6) Joselito was wearing a white shirt yet when he was being identified by the city’s prosecutor, he had a red gang shirt on and the white t-shirt he had on as seen on video was underneath. When they realized that the red shirt had no holes, they took the red shirt off.
(7) We know the police officers names & the captain who made the order, the one who was witnessed leaving with the gun from the police station & the one who planted the gun & gave Joselito the fatal shots.

I AM PLEADING TO YOU AS THE NATIONAL POLICE HEADQUARTERS & THE EMBASSY FOR JUSTICE IN MY BROTHER’S KILLING. I WANT MY BROTHER’S STORY TO REACH THE HIGHEST COURT AND FOR THE GUILTY OFFICERS TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY’VE DONE.

HE LEAVES THREE SMALL KIDS (The 6 year old twins: Jamie & Jason and 7 year old Samantha; to young for lasting memories. His wife Judy left to raise their twins without their father’s love & support.

Maria our mother has Muscular Dystrophy and has been completely bed ridden for the past 15 years. Joselito was her guardian angel who took care of her, loved her, and nursed her till his last day. A son every parent hopes to have in time of need…

ALL THE LINKS BELOW ARE ON BEHALF OF JOSELIN “JOSELITO” MARTINEZ…
