The incident occurred during the early morning of February 17, in front of Walgreens at North Durango Drive in the Coral Bay neighborhood in Las Vegas.
Shortly before 2:45, a 911 call came to the fire and rescue department for a man who needs help, according to court documents received from Las Vegas -based CBS Klas.

Arriving officers have found that the victim is wrapped in a white sheet, close to a set of steps in front of the pharmacy chain and suffers from an obvious firearm wound to the head, according to law enforcement. After all, various efforts to perform CPR were in vain; The bloody man was declared dead at the scene of the crime.
Police claim that a witness, who lived in the immediate vicinity, appeared and accused Martinez of shooting. The witness said he woke up around 3am after he heard noises outside his residence.
The defendant was quickly arrested a little later in his home. Inside, the police have found two pistols.
During an interview with detention, Martinez claims that he has offered a willful confession that he has had “murderous thoughts lately” that have become “more intensive” when drinking alcohol, according to a police report.
After midnight, the defendant claims he drank alcohol when he received the idea of stealing money from his parents. After admitting that he had stolen his parents’ debit card, he was unable to receive the desired money as he could not provide the correct personal identification number, according to police.
While on the automated cashier, Martinez said he was paranoid for a group of men who were believed to be following him, police say. So, the defendant claims that he had returned home to take two rifles and returned to the bank to look for men, according to the report.
Along the way, Martinez came across a man dressed in a white hood, the defendant said. Then he asked the man if he saw anyone else around. The man replied that he was not, but did not ask to borrow the defendant’s mobile phone so he could reach the hospital.
Martinez said he had offered to take the man to a white hospital on the other side of the street – but the man refused because he wanted to go to another hospital, police say. Then the two men started walking together before sitting on the steps where the victim would be later found.
As they spoke, the conversation became painful.
The defendant claims to have admitted to the stranger that he “wanted to kill someone,” according to a police report. In response, the victim claims that he “felt that way and sometimes.”
As the conversation continued, the victim claims to have told Martinez that they once set fire to someone. Then “something clicked”, claims that Martinez told police. In doing so, he “knew he had to kill him.”
The defendant said he had offered the man in a white drink and said he would go inside to buy the drink. Then he claims to stand up, walked behind him, shot him in the head and ran to the home.
Martinez is currently detained at the Clark County Center without warranty. He will appear in the court for a pre -hearing on April 4, prison records show.
