Colorado officials are asking for help in finding a 5-year-old boy who is the subject of an Endangered Missing Alert after his mother was murdered.
Colorado officials found a 5-year-old and his father who had been missing for over a week after the boy's mom was murdered.The Montezuma County Sheriff's Office tells Newsweek that the boy's 'family' brought Helliono Martinez, 5, to their office Thursday at 12:30 p.m. He is now in the temporary custody of the Montezuma County Department of Social Services.The child's father, Charles Martinez, 43, was also located and is not charged with any crimes at this time.
His legal team argued for him to be released from the detention center at a July 22 hearing so that he could be there for his younger brother during this time. The teen reportedly claimed he struggled with mental health in the past but promised to remain sober, earn his GED, and get a job if released.The judge ultimately decided Hevon Martinez should remain detained for the investigation because he is a flight risk.
