'Now He Will Pay,' Murdered Woman's Family Says

South Brunswick, NJ - The family of Alicia Martinez, the young woman shot to death last summer in South Brunswick, said they are relieved the man prosecutors say killed her was indicted Tuesday.

“Now he will pay for what he did,” Martinez’s cousin, Clary Izaguirre Martinez, told Patch. “Now we feel better.”

“My family ... we don’t know why he did this,” she added.

Giver Quiroz-Vasquez, 25, and Martinez, 24, dated for a time. The couple broke up. But he didn’t let it go.

He stalked her, prosecutors say. On an early summer’s day, June 24, 2015, he followed her in his car to the Prologis Industrial Park on Docks Corner Road where she worked.

He fatally shot Martinez three times as she was pulling in to go to work, police say. She was found dead in her car at 7 a.m. in the parking lot.

At first, Vasquez fled. But police tracked him to New Hope, Pennsylvania, where he was arrested. A grand jury handed down a murder indictment Tuesday morning.

Martinez’s family say they want her to be remembered as a hard-working young immigrant, who came to the U.S. ultimately for a better life. Originally from Honduras, she moved here when she was 15 and lived in New Brunswick.

“She worked when she came to this country,” said Clary. “She went to school, she studied and she had permission to work, so she worked also.”

“She was very good person,” she continued. “A very cheerful person; she never did anything to anyone. She was beautiful.”
