A 26-year-old private security guard in Colorado allegedly had a severed hand in his coat pocket when he was arrested on suspicion of killing and dismembering a woman, whose body was discovered discarded by a creek. Solomon X. Martinez was taken into custody last week and charged with one count of first-degree murder in the woman’s horrific slaying.

The Pueblo County Coroner’s Office will release the identity of the victim after her next of kin are located and notified of her death. The office will also perform an autopsy to determine the manner and cause of death.

According to a news release from the Pueblo Police Department, officers at about 3:47 p.m. on Jan. 10 responded to the area of Fountain Creek just south of Highway 47 after receiving reports about a possible homicide. Upon arriving at the scene, first responders said they located the body of an adult female who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives from the department’s Crimes Against Persons Unit took over the investigation, which officials said was believed to be a homicide. Based on witness statements and other evidence, detectives arrested Martinez on suspicion of murder.

A probable cause affidavit obtained by The Pueblo Chieftain provided additional details about the circumstances leading to the apprehension of Martinez.

According to the report, Martinez at about 5 a.m. on Jan. 9 was spotted by his roommate at a local car wash wearing clothing that was covered in dirt and blood. The roommate told police that Martinez used a pressure washer to clean his hands and then asked the roommate to dig a large hole about 10 feet deep for him.

The roommate then asked Martinez if he could borrow some tools, and Martinez began rummaging around in his car trunk but allegedly prohibited the roommate from getting close or looking inside. Martinez allegedly then moved “something big” out of the way to reach the tools.

According to court documents obtained by Colorado Springs ABC affiliate KRDO, the roommate said Martinez offered to knock $1,000 off the roommate’s debt if he agreed to help him dig the hole. The roommate said he declined.

“I was terrified. I was beyond terrified,” the roommate told the station when recounting his conversation with the blood-soaked Martinez. “Like, I can’t even put into words how physically scared I was.”
