COLORADO CITY, Texas — Three Colorado City residents have been charged and arrested after an investigation into the May 26 death of an Odessa teen.
The investigation by the Colorado City Police Department and Mitchell County Sheriff's Office began after 16-year-old Haley Martinez was found dead in a Colorado City home.
Police had responded to the 1200 block of College Street around 5:40 a.m. in response to a possible drug overdose.
The three arrested include Kenneth Ray Green and Amanda Harkins of Colorado City, pictured to the left and right respectively in the picture below, charged with tampering with evidence by moving Martinez's body, and Nicholas Rodriguez, shown in the center, arrested for assault prior to Martinez's death.
Rodriguez's bond was set at $2,500, while Harkins and Green's bonds were $30,000 each.
Police say they are unsure if Rodriguez's arrest was connected to Martinez's death.
"We have interviewed countless numbers of people, with the sheriff's office, working together to bring justice to Haley," stated Colorado City Police Chief Charles Rice.
Authorities do not yet have a cause of death in the case but could issue more charges when the determination is made.
An autopsy and sexual assault examination has also been ordered as part of the investigation.
