PUEBLO, Colo. (KXRM) — After a two-week trial, a Pueblo jury has found a man accused of killing a woman guilty.
Solomon Martinez, 27, was arrested in January 2024 after an individual, one of his friends, reported witnessing him dragging a body down to Fountain Creek two days before.
Police later recovered the body of a decapitated woman, who was identified as 47-year-old Renee Marie Portillos.
When he was arrested, police found a severed hand in his pocket. He had pled not guilty to three charges, including first-degree murder after deliberation, tampering with a deceased human body and abuse of corpse.
On Thursday, March 13, a jury found him guilty.
