Teen accused of murdering ex’s stepdad misses court appearance
SUMMARY: Osvaldo Gasas was shot dead outside his home, leaving his widow and unborn child grieving. His wife was eight months pregnant at the time of his death, missing the joy of their child’s birth. Seventeen-year-old Christian Martinez, charged with Gasas’s murder, was scheduled to appear in court but missed the hearing due to a disruptive incident. Martinez had previously dated Gasas’s daughter, but their relationship ended after he assaulted and harassed her. The prosecution indicates that Martinez may not be the only one involved, as another suspect is mentioned in court documents. The family seeks justice for Gasas’s death.
Cristian Martinez, a 17-year-old high school senior who cuts hair on the side and lives with his parents, missed a scheduled probable cause hearing in court Saturday.
