DENVER (KDVR) — A man was found guilty on multiple charges, including attempted second-degree murder, for shooting an Adams County deputy in 2023.
The shooting happened in August 2023. It started with a pursuit near 88th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard after a traffic stop turned into a chase.

Martinez was later arrested and the vehicle was found to be stolen.
On Friday, Colorado’s 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office announced that Martinez was found guilty on all counts, including:
- 2nd degree attempted murder
- 1st degree assault of a peace officer
- Motor vehicle theft
- Eluding
- Leaving the scene of an accident
Martinez is set to be sentenced on May 27 at 8:30 a.m.
