USA First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff

Dear First Gentleman Marlos Reis,
I am an ambassador for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Walls. I lost my beautiful son, Justin Reese
Martinez, who is forever 26. He was poisoned by fentanyl, and we remain heartbroken and in
disbelief of what happened to our son.
My son did not take drugs. He did have a medical marijuana card so he would not have to take
pain pills for his pancreatitis. When I arrived at my son’s apartment and found him dead was my
worst nightmare. What happened to my son? The Broomfield police department did nothing and
ruled my son ‘s death as an accident. They did not take any evidence from the apartment, nor did
they follow up on any leads that were presented to them. My son was murdered. I believe his socalled
friend put fentanyl in his marijuana. I told the Broomfield Police Department who he was
with, and this person is a known fentanyl drug user and seller. The same person had caused his
own brother, and another friend to overdose on fentanyl. In the instance of the other friend, he left
him on the side of the road when he was overdosing. He left him like a stray animal to die, on the
side of the road, all by himself. I believe he left my son to die as well. I believe my son died in the
living room, and he placed his body in the bedroom in a way we knew that’s not how he slept.
I’m very angry and hurt that this person is free and gets to spend his time with his family as my
son cannot be with his family and to watch his son grow up! We loved him beyond imagination.
Justin had such a big heart; on Thanksgiving he would buy sandwiches for the homeless and
distribute them to the people he saw and give them money. He had the biggest smile; it was so
contagious.
Dear Sir, there are too many kids dying from this drug, and from the people distributing it.
Although a law has passed to make it a felony now to knowingly give somebody this drug, I feel
there still is no accountability for the ones giving it because the police don’t want to do their due
diligence to properly investigate these cases
I know you have children; would you assist us in finding a permanent location for a Drug Epidemic
Memorial Wall within our Capitol? We have created two memorial Walls. One with photos and one
with names. These digital walls and albums update automatically. We would also like the photos
displayed in hard copy format. The wall of names can be projected on a wall so parents can
touch their loved one's name. We would like our loved ones to be treated like victims. They were
all victims of Purdue Pharma (an American cartel) and many others. Now, they are victims of
Chinese and the Mexican Cartels.
We are using the word “drugism” for the prejudice toward drug users - like racism. A group of our
Colorado moms would love to meet with you and work together to prevent this from happening
ever again.
Sincerely,
Jill Vigil
