Davie police release name of fatal shooting victim
BY DAVID SMILEY

Investigators have identified the Davie man found shot dead Thursday night in his apartment as 33-year-old Omar Martinez.

Police have released few details about Martinez's slaying, in part, because issues with immigration status have slowed investigators, according to Davie police spokesman Lt. Bill Coyne.

Police had been unable to release his name until Tuesday because of initial questions about Martinez's immigration status and whether Omar Martinez was actually the victim's name, Coyne said.

Investigators have also had trouble pulling information from neighbors because many are worried about getting into trouble if their immigration status is revealed, Coyne said.

''It's hindered the investigation somewhat,'' Coyne said.

Coyne said Martinez was a cabinet maker who worked six days a week in the Pompano Beach area.

Martinez was found dead by his 21-year-old girlfriend, Sibia Martinez, Coyne said.

Coyne said there was no sign of forced entry into Martinez's unit in the River Cove Apartments, 3751 State Road 84.

Coyne said there were no suspects in the investigation as of Tuesday afternoon.

The case is under investigation. Anyone with information should call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
