Jimmy's 911 call captured the urgency of the situation as he tried to locate Martha, who had requested him to call for help. The dispatcher worked diligently to gather information about Martha's whereabouts, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the unfolding events.
Martha's son, Alejandro Santa Bria, aged 26, allegedly stabbed her at Lucky's Valero on North John Reddit Drive in Lufkin, Texas. The episode occurred during a manic episode related to Santa Bria's bipolar disorder. Martha, aged 48, had attempted to prevent him from harming his partner, who was pregnant with his child.
As the situation escalated, Martha urgently texted Jimmy, asking him to call 911 and get the police to pull over her car. In a series of calls, Jimmy provided details, and the police were en route to locate Martha.
Tragically, before officers could reach them, surveillance footage revealed Santa Bria stabbing Martha fatally in the convenience store. Responding officers arrived just in time to witness the horrific event and subsequently subdued Santa Bria, who had a knife.
The body cam footage captured the chaotic scene as officers struggled to apprehend Santa Bria, resulting in injuries to Officer Gerardo Salinas, aged 29, who suffered a punctured lung during the confrontation.
