On the evening of Friday, December 1, 2023, a tragic event unfolded in Twin Falls, Idaho, resulting in the death of 26-year-old Hispanic male Jaime Bravo. The incident, a double homicide, took place at The Tint Shop located at 2487 Kimberly Road. At approximately 8:19 p.m., the Twin Falls Police Department received a report of shots fired at the business. Upon their arrival, officers discovered the bodies of Bravo, an employee, and the 36-year-old shop owner, Jesse Ortiz.
Both men had sustained fatal gunshot wounds.
The Twin Falls Police Department promptly launched a thorough investigation into the double homicide, securing the crime scene and beginning the process of gathering evidence and interviewing potential witnesses. In an effort to identify those responsible for this violent act, authorities released photographs and video footage of two male suspects to the public. Both suspects were seen in the images wielding guns and are considered to be armed and dangerous. Law enforcement also revealed that one of the suspects may be known by the nickname "El Guero." The police have urged the community not to approach the individuals and to contact the department with any information that could lead to their identification and capture.
While the two primary suspects in the shooting remain at large, a significant development in the case occurred on December 6, 2023. Authorities arrested 40-year-old Angelica M. Martinez in Phoenix, Arizona, in connection with the murders. Martinez has been charged with two counts of Aiding and Abetting Murder for her alleged role in the deaths of Bravo and Ortiz. At the time of her arrest, she was also charged with possession of methamphetamine and cocaine. The investigation remains ongoing as law enforcement continues to seek justice for Jaime Bravo and Jesse Ortiz, dedicating all available resources to apprehend the individuals directly responsible for the shooting.
