Adriana Martinez Reyes Wiki, Biography
Adriana Martinez Reyes, the mother of the shooter in the Robb Elementary shooting in Uvalde, Texas, was arrested in a domestic violence-related incident in Oklahoma, police said in a statement. On Wednesday, January 4, 2023, it was reported that the police were called to the home of Adriana Martínez Reyes, 40, after she threatened to kill her boyfriend.
The mother of the Robb Elementary gunman was arrested and charged with threatening to commit an act of violence, assault and battery after her boyfriend, identified as VI Alvarez, told the officer that she responded that Reyes threatened to kill him. Álvarez added that he was afraid they would kill him while he slept. According to NBC, when she confronted an officer, Reyes denied threatening her partner. However, Reyes was arrested after a witness corroborated the statements of her boyfriend.
Adriana Martínez Reyes faced in a domestic disturbance for the second time
On Wednesday, January 4, 2023, Adriana Martinez Reyes was arrested in connection with an incident of domestic violence after police responded to a report of a disturbance at an Oklahoma home shortly after 10 am.
Shortly thereafter, police arrested and charged the mother of the Robb Elementary mass shooter after learning that she had threatened to kill her significant other. At the time of her arrest, Reyes reportedly told officers that she was the mother of the man who killed the children in the Uvalde, Texas shooting.
In May 2022, Reyes’s son, Salvador Ramos, opened fire at Robb Elementary School, killing 19 students and two teachers. His son was shot and killed during a confrontation with officers at the time.
The recent encounter with police marks the second time Reyes has faced a domestic disturbance incident this year. On January 1, 2023, officers responded to the same home for a similar incident. She was not arrested at the time. However, Reyes was arrested last year on trespassing charges and a warrant for driving with an invalid license.
Adriana Martinez Reyes was confronted by the family of the Robb Elementary victims last year
According to media reports, while leaving the Uvalde County Jail last year, the family of the victims confronted the shooter’s mother when she yelled at them:
“You have no right to judge my son. No you don’t! No, you don’t. May God forgive them all.”
Reyes had previously expressed her contrition over the victims’ deaths at the hands of her son. At the time, Reyes, while speaking to Spanish-language station Televisa, said:
“I have no words to say, I don’t know what I was thinking. She had her reasons for doing what she did. Please don’t judge him. I just want the innocent children who died to forgive me. Forgive me, forgive my son. I know I had his reasons. Following her recent arrest, Reyes, whose bond was set at $1,000, was transported to the Oklahoma County Jail.
