Glenston MartinezA fifteen year old boy is the prime suspect in the murder of 33-year-old tour guide Glenston Martinez. Tuesday was a cruise ship day and so Martinez was up early at 6 am cleaning his tour van before heading to the Tourism Village when a young man on a bicycle rode up.  He appeared to be no older than a teenager and was wearing a white t-shirt and red basketball shorts. Glenston’s mother Casmore Martinez watched it unfold from inside her home.
 
She says that, “I didn’t hear what he asked him or what he was telling him but I presumed probably it was money he was

 asking for.”  She says that moments later she heard two gunshots.  When she looked out her window her son was on the ground and she saw that his killer, “jumped on the bicycle and he went up the street there.” Her son had been shot, executed really, at point blank range in front of their home.  She describes her son’s killer as, “a little boy, an innocent little boy.” Casmore doesn’t recall seeing the young man with a gun in his hand. 

Casmore Martinez presumes the killer was asking Glenston for money but she doesn’t know for sure because what’s peculiar is that if robbery was the motive, the killer rode off empty handed and did not attempt to steal anything from Glenston’s person or from the tour van.  Casmore Martinez also doesn’t recall seeing the young man prior to Tuesday morning’s shooting. But she says that Glen was always prepared to lend a helping hand. In addition to a tour guide, Glenston Martinez also operated a restaurant from his family’s home on Central American Boulevard.
