[April 25: Death of unidentified male, Airport Road and Murray Road in Colorado Springs (Colorado Springs Police Department investigating)
...

CSPD is working to identify the deceased man in their investigation. Police said he appeared to be in his late 20s. The man, believed to be Hispanic, has an Aztec eagle tattoo on his chest. Pueblo police shared the below surveillance video screenshot as authorities believe it is the same man killed in Colorado Springs.]

[CSPD is asking for help identifying the victim in its jurisdiction. The man may be Hispanic, and appears to be in his early to late 20s. Investigators released a composite sketch of the victim, which includes an "Aztez Crest Tattoo," according to ECPSO.]

Someone responded to my post in the Facebook group with this man, named Diego Martinez who is thought to be missing in Colorado. He’s even wearing a Saint Louis Cardinals hat.

I think this might be our John Doe.View attachment 346446
There is definitely a resemblance, I think that’s our guy.
 

[An affidavit obtained by News5 alleges that 21-year-old Carlos Ulises Diaz admitted to killing four men in Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and El Paso County, and claimed two of the victims had tried to sexually assault him.

...

Detectives later learned about a vehicle that was believed to be connected to a homicide in Colorado Springs as well as the homicides in Pueblo. They found that the vehicle was registered to a woman named Brittanie Sutherland and that an unknown man had been shot in her Chevy Malibu while at a car wash near Airport Road and Murray Road in Colorado Springs. Video surveillance showed two men arriving at the carwash and where they then clean the car for an extending time. One man then shoots the other man and fled on foot. Eyewitnesses identified Diaz as the shooter and said the two men were arguing over a set of keys.

...

During questioning, Diaz admitted to shooting the unidentified man at the car wash, but said that he had to do it because the man wanted to sexually assault him.]

Hmm, if this UID was helping Diaz clean the car, wonder why Diaz has not identified who he is? He's already admitted to killing him.

ETA: Oh, I guess maybe he was an unknown drug dealer who got involved, so Diaz did not know him previously.

It's very possible he is Diego Martinez, but authorities can't confirm it until they locate his family members who can do a visual ID on his body or can confirm via DNA.

ETA: I located a relative of Diego on FB who had posted about his disappearance and sent him the contact information for the local police department. It's possible his family doesn't know how to go about searching for him or submitting a missing persons report since they live in Mexico and are likely unfamiliar with procedures here in the US.

yes that would be true, its hard to wade for us. he has no family here?
 

[CSPD said because of the community’s assistance, they were able to identify the victim and notify his family. On June 1, CSPD released the victim’s identity: 22-year-old Diego Martinez of Colorado Springs.

The El Paso County Coroner’s Office has ruled this death a homicide.]

Good job, people!

It was in fact Diego Martinez.

Rest in peace, Diego.
 
None of the men on NamUs look like a match for this John Doe, so I posted his photos in a Spanish-language missing persons group for people whose relatives went missing in the US in case he is undocumented.
TY for helping give Diego his name back. I imagine his loved ones are deeply appreciative and will be forever grateful to you for helping them in their efforts to find him. Great job!!

My condolences go out to all who love Diego. May justice be harsh and come quickly.
Rest in peace, Diego. :(
