Santa Fe, NM (KKOB) – An 88 year old Santa Fe man who was released from prison last week while awaiting a new trial for the murder in 2018, of his daughter’s fiancé has died. Noverto Martinez, was released last Thursday and died Sunday in his home in Santa Fe. Martinez had been serving a seven-year sentence in connection with the shooting, though his murder conviction was overturned on appeal in December due to a prosecutor’s improper line of questioning and comments.
A new trial in the case was set to take place next year.
