Tamika Russell - 8800 South Braeswood on October 11, 2005

[Chris]

31yearold
Tamika Russell’s body was discovered in the master bedroom closet of her apartment at 8800 South Braeswood on October 11, 2005 after several days of complaints of a strong odor coming from the apartment. It appeared she had been dead several days due to her body’s advanced stage of decomposition.
Investigators said bloodstains and the general disarray of the closet indicated that Ms. Russell put up a struggle before being murdered.
Investigators have exhausted all leads on Ms. Russell’s death, and are asking the public for any information that may lead to solving her murder.

Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and charging of any suspect in this case. Anyone with information on Tamika Russell’s homicide is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 713222TIPS (8477). All callers remain anonymous.

Has anyone checked out a man named Daniel Clyde Martinez?

[Chris]

Hi MF,

Why would the police want to check this person out?

Thanks

Because he tried to kill me and make it look like an accident and 2 physic's have told me he has already killed 2 women in the houston area and has gotten away with it. One physic said one of the women had blond hair. 

[Chris]

Oh wow, sorry to hear about that. I hope you called the police about that. Did he get arrested?

I have read about this case on crimestoppers as well. I think in this case she surprised a burglar
and she fell victim .

I heard that she actually fell victim to a guy that worked for a delivery company that also killed 2 other woman in the area around the same time. I'm not sure how accurate this info is. I am a friend of her child's father whom was killed in 2006 and is still unsolved.

[Chris]

So the father of her child is dead too?

Yes, the father of her 2 children are dead. He was shot in January 2006 while at a stop light. He was in the passenger seat. I believe there is a story about him on this website under the 2006 link.

That is very sad too.
