(KFSN) &#8212; On Tuesday, prosecutors revealed new evidence in the case of a rollerblading gunman accused of a West Central Fresno murder nearly four years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;You&#8217;re the driver of a vehicle that was involved in a murder,&#8221; Fresno Police Detective Ryan Rockwell is heard telling Alejandra Munoz during a recorded interview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;Alejandra, I&#8217;m going to let you know right now that&#8217;s not what the video shows,&#8221; Rockwell said. &#8220;I know what you just told us is not completely truthful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Munoz and Guillermo Perez are on trial, each charged with murder for the death of Richard Martin outside the FreshCo Foods at Shields and Brawley Avenue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The 70-year-old died in his car, police say, shot to death by a man on roller blades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;A person on roller skates, roller blades comes out of your car and starts rolling around the parking lot,&#8221; Rockwell told Munoz.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Investigators believe the gunman came from Munoz&#8217;s car, but she refused to answer who was with her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;We have to know who that person on roller blades was,&#8221; Rockwell said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The recorded interview played for an hour. As police highlighted Munoz&#8217;s inconsistencies, the jury saw her frustration in real time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;I have something very important to say,&#8221; Rockwell said amid crosstalk with Munoz. &#8220;Would you listen to me instead of talking over me, please?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Munoz eventually walked out of the interview room after saying she needed an interpreter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;Albeit she had a thick accent, she understood,&#8221; Rockwell testified on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Rockwell believes Munoz traced the FreshCo parking lot before the shooting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Munoz&#8217;s attorney pushed back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;Did you establish that she painted virtually every store in that shopping center?&#8221; defense attorney Mark Coleman said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;I don&#8217;t know about every store, but she did, in the interview you just watched, I believe she referred to painting at the FreshCo,&#8221; Rockwell said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Investigators say the motive centers around a civil lawsuit. At the time of his death, the victim had recently settled a case against his previous employer, who had connections to Munoz.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The jury heard from that employer last week and will now hear more evidence in the days ahead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN \">For news updates, follow Gabe Ferris on <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GabeABC30\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GabeABC30\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/GabeABC30\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2026 KFSN-TV.
