San Antonio man found guilty of murder in 2023 drive-by shooting death of 17-year-old

A man was found guilty of murder in connection with the 2023 drive-by shooting death of a 17-year-old, according to Bexar County court records.

Nathan Martinez was found guilty Friday in the death of Julian Junior Robledo, who was shot while sitting under a carport with his mother in August 2023 in the 2800 block of Mosscircle Drive. Robledo died from his injuries two days later.

Ballistic evidence collected at three separate shooting scenes linked Martinez to the crime. Investigators also found posts in which Martinez allegedly bragged about “taking down a rival gang member” and described using a firearm modification known as a switch to make a weapon fully automatic.

Martinez still faces a separate capital murder charge stemming from a June 2022 shooting that killed two men and injured five others at a barbecue in the 2500 block of Patron Drive. That case remains pending.

Judge Stephanie Boyd is scheduled to sentence Martinez at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, court records show.
