A Marion County jury has found former Washington resident, Earl Martin, guilty in a 2017 murder case in Vanderburgh County.
The 39-year old Martin was found guilty on charges of murder, attempted murder, and robbery. His sentencing is set for February 15th in Vanderburgh County. The trial was moved to Indianapolis due to pre trial publicity.
Evansville police say in December 2017 Martin and co-defendant Jalil Fellows met Christopher Hoefling and another man outside of Rick’s Sports Bar to buy marijuana. Police say during the transaction Martin shot both men resulting in the death of Hoefling. The second victim survived.
Martin is also awaiting trial for the murder and dismembering of Erica Bradfield, also a former Washington resident, in a separate incident in 2017.
