(PUEBLO, Colo.) — After a two-week trial, a Pueblo jury has found a man accused of killing a woman guilty.

Solomon Martinez, 27, was arrested in Jan. 2024 after an individual, one of his friends, reported witnessing him dragging a body down to Fountain Creek two days before. Police later recovered the body of a decapitated woman, who was identified as 47-year-old Renee Marie Portillos.

When he was arrested, police found a severed hand in his pocket. He had pled not guilty to three charges, including First-Degree Murder after Deliberation, Tampering with a Deceased Human Body, and Abuse of Corpse.

On Thursday, March 13, a jury found him guilty.
