Two Denver police officers were justified in their shooting of Vincent Martinez, 36, near East Yale Avenue and South Colorado Boulevard in March, the Denver District Attorney’s Office said Thursday.
On March 2, Sgt. Marco Martinez and Technician Fred Jones, members of the Denver Police Department SWAT team, responded to a call to help the Denver Police Department Fugitive Unit and the Arvada Police Department Fugitive Unit with the arrest of the suspect near a Great Clips store.
Officers in Arvada worked with Denver police after tracking Vincent Martinez down in University Hills. Upon discovering Vincent Martinez and his wife were inside Great Clips, Denver SWAT officers were called to assist in his arrest, the district attorney’s review said. When the suspect exited the hair salon, SWAT officers approached him at gunpoint, telling him to raise his hands. Vincent Martinez ran to the passenger side of the car and SWAT officers threw two flashbangs near him, the district attorney’s review said.
