Cousins Charged in Connecticut Teen's Murder After Body Found on Highway

Edgar Josué Chiche Martínez was allegedly killed by his cousins, with one facing murder charges and another charged with hindering prosecution.

Edgar Josué Chiche Martínez, nearly 19, was found dead wrapped in a comforter on Pope Park Highway in Hartford, Connecticut.
Police believe Martínez was shot inside the apartment he shared with his cousins, and his body was discovered about 24 hours later.
A 17-year-old cousin has been charged with murder and tampering with evidence, while 21-year-old Sender Soto-Veliz faces charges of hindering prosecution.
Family members suspect the murder may have been motivated by money, though no official motive has been confirmed.
Martínez's family, residing mostly in Guatemala, hopes to have his body returned there for burial, while Soto-Veliz awaits arraignment.
