Martinez is the registered owner of a black,1998 Nissan Maxima believed to have mowed down 20-year-old Saddleback College student Carlos Eduardo Salas on September 7. Salas was skateboarding near the intersection of Golden Lantern and Marina Hills in Laguna Niguel when he was struck from behind by the Maxima, dragged 25 to 30 feet, and left for dead. The Maxima was later found unoccupied on Sea Glen.
According to a September 29 sheriff's press release, Martinez has not returned home or shown up to work since the collision. A witness at the scene said the vehicle's driver appeared to be a Hispanic male in his mid 20's with neatly coifed hair.
