Anthony Martinez

Rosendo "Anthony" Flores Martinez was a Denver teenager who brought the everyday warmth and promise of youth to his family and community. Born July 26, 2001, Anthony grew up in the Denver area and, by the time he was sixteen, was known to those close to him as a young person with ties to friends and neighbors in the Villa Park area.

Public records related to the May 30, 2018 shooting in the 600 block of Perry Street identify Anthony as one of two young men who died that day. Contemporary reporting and the arrest affidavit filed in the case record his name and age and note that he was transported to Denver Health Medical Center, where he later died. These official and news sources confirm his full name, age at death, and the date his life ended.

Beyond those factual records, there is limited public information about Anthony’s private life in reliable sources. What is clear from memorial pages and community responses at the time is that he was remembered by friends and others who called him a bright and caring presence. Online memorials include messages from people mourning a young life cut short and remembering personal qualities in brief comments.

Because an authorized family obituary or funeral-home notice matching his name and the exact date of death was not located in the public record, this remembrance is written to place Anthony first as a person: a young Denver resident whose life mattered to family, friends, and community. His loss at 16 left a void for those who knew him; the records and community remembrances that remain speak to a real life that mattered beyond headlines. May those who loved Rosendo Anthony find comfort in memories, and may his name be remembered with dignity.
