Justice Served: Sentencing for SAISD Detective's Killer

Alfredo Martinez-Contreras, one of two men charged with running over SAISD Det. Cliff Martinez outside a South Side IHOP in 2019, is expected to be sentenced after accepting a 15-year plea deal. The victim's family expressed their dissatisfaction with the plea deal and the district attorney's office. The co-defendant in the case, Jorge Armando Lopez, took a 20-year plea deal in November 2022 on a manslaughter charge. The district attorney stated that there wasn't enough evidence to prove Martinez-Contreras was in the vehicle that hit Martinez.
