SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) - Police say they have a DNA hit that links two murders just a few blocks apart. <\/p>\n
Police have always suspected two Santa Fe killings were connected because one victim was a homeowner who walked in on burglars in his house. <\/p>\n
Santa Fe police believe David Martinez ran with a group of burglars while he was alive. He or someone in that group killed a man who walked in on them as they were stealing from him. <\/p>\n
That was in February when Ethaan Boyer, 34, who was a community volunteer and owned a graphic design company, was killed inside his Santa Fe home after coming home from work. <\/p>\n
Police have not made an arrest in that murder. <\/p>\n
A couple of weeks later David Martinez was shot and killed just a few blocks away, the body was dumped in a neighboring park.. <\/p>\n
His brother, Felix Martinez, admitted to shooting him at their home with the help of a man police considers another serial burglar, Sam Leyba. <\/p>\n
They have been in jail since the shooting. <\/p>\n
Santa Fe police have been trying to link the two murders since March to solve Boyer's case. <\/p>\n
Detectives sifted through garbage at the Martinez home and the landfill looking for evidence. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
