- A Maryland parole officer went on a routine visit to one of the registered sex offenders assigned to him on May 31 and never returned. When agent Davis Martinez did not report back, Montgomery County police rushed to 54-year-old Emanuel Edward Sewell’s apartment. Law&Crime’s Elizabeth Millner breaks down the horrific scene found at Sewell’s apartment.

Thirty-three-year-old Martinez’s car was still in the parking lot when police arrived. Investigators believe his phone was thrown in a dumpster by Sewell after he allegedly killed the officer. Sewell, a convicted sex offender, was released from prison in 2021 after serving 25 years behind bars for the rape of a physicist. Sewell has yet to enter a plea after being charged with Martinez’s murder.

Why are your only sponsorships extremely sketchy??
@@PixelPenguin87212 thought the same thing
Why are parole officers going to visit felons alone and unarmed? Ridiculous. This was completely preventable.
The judge and prosecutor failed the public and this poor probation officer and his family..there should be harsh consequences for not ensuring public safety which is their job
If it’s a risk why are they even free?
@@Uahlame3the dept took the cheap route. Only have to pay one officer and not have to pay for the person to live in prison 😒
And without guns
@@Daughterofthemosthigh53idk bout everywhere but in the 3 states I’ve lived, they all had guns. I dunno if it’s department issued but they all were strapped
Should have never have been released in the first place.
That was my same thought also
I think so too
NEVER 💯
My thoughts exactly
@@SunshineTheGoddessGirl bye… you’d move this dude into ur spot in no time if you had the chance… and he’d be dropping you off to work on ur own car while asking you for a “couple dollar” lmao.
The System failed that Officer. The crime committed in 1996 should have ensured that animal stay locked up for life.
I completely agree with you. That monster never should have left jail. Now the family of this poor man had their lives ruined.
Right!!! I'm wondering the same thing. smh.
Facts
Laws were written by offenders that is where our problems lie. We need to be more proactive here.
He had the option to have another officer if he wanted he chose not too
why is the offender on the streets in the first place is the question
woke lefty's laws
Parole with Rules.
Republicans think jailing somebody prevents them committing more crimes
@@theisnoplanet the gop has had control of the house for a while now. If things are not getting done, you should shift your energy towards your elected representatives.
@@Cheskis24the house doesn't control state or county laws lmao
So a man who should’ve never been let out committed another crime, what’s new
FACTS
💯
Exactly 💯
He saw something that could send him back to prison so he killed him to potentially get life without parole?!!! 🤨🤨 Make it make sense!!! It's ridiculous!!!
That makes sense. The suspect made a stern commitment to self that he was not going back to prison willingly. And would do anything to prevent himself from returning back to prison. so he got caught doing wrong. He understood he was going to go to prison for a violation. Ultimately he decided fight and flight. Got caught a day later probably in a fugitive situation. And knew he would not win that fight. Not gets jail for life.
They don’t say criminals are geniuses too often.
Lack of impulse control and hyperagression.
He probably thought he was so smart he could get away with it. Smh.
@@chrisjdjd142 ...and gets to go to prison as a murderer and not a SA'er (IF Martinez did find such material/evidence at the home).
He should have NEVER been let out! These laws are ridiculous!
No more home visits !! Make the offender report to the parole office !!!!
Exactly
Then they’re out & about ……
It's to see how they are living and with whom. That's why the visits are unannounced
No home visits is impossible. An important part of parole is to see where the felon lives and how he is living so going inside is necessary
FACTS 👏👏and if they choose to do home visits,there should always be two armed officers visiting at all times.
That man would have still been in prison for the brutal torture and assault of that young man in 96. He was let out early and Agent Martinez and his family had to pay the price. Disgusting.
Yet another example of why violent offenders should not be allowed to be on parole or probation if it’s a violent crime, they should have to serve the whole Sentence
He should have NEVER been back on the streets to begin with!
He had a bulletproof vest but should he have also have had a firearm?
I know! As if you can’t be hurt or murdered by any other means. 🙄
He did. All probation and parole officers carry guns.
Martinez had a department issued firearm, in fact it was stolen during the crime.
What does that have to do with anything? If you're ambushed, you're ambushed.
@@Just_selene completely false they do not array in MD.
Who released this dangerous criminal . The judge is responsible
A fair court trial and jury should determine that. Believe it or not judges don't have a crystal ball to see into the future if a criminal might re offend or not. By your logic, anyone convicted of any crime at all should be locked away for life just in case.
Blame your politicians. They set the sentencing guidelines that judges follow. The judge is just doing their job. This is why politics should not be a popularity contest but so many people are ignorant of how things actually work.
Tell us you don’t actually know a thing about what’s going on without wasting our time reading your drivel.
All the rotten and corrupt non caring system and all the judges who does this crap are criminals for certain and they should be in jail TOO,
Woke leftys
OH MY GOSH!!!! The headline alone makes me sick to my stomach. RIP. 😢
This is horrible.
These guys should NEVER do those checks alone.
Once upon a time, law enforcement ALWAYS had a partner. Time to get back to such practices.
I always see 10 cop cars pull over one person so it shouldn't be a staffing issue. There are usually too many cops in my opinion.
todays world is way too dangerous to be sending someone to the house of a violent offender alone. there are stories of delivery workers and uber drivers being murdered. why would a police officer be safe?
@@ryankibler7973this. So many gathered in one spot for something minor. But a serious situation…nah, let’s send the man alone.
At the very least, parole & prprobation officers should be armed officers.
This
My sister is a child abuse investigator who has to remove children from their homes on occasion. I worry about something like this happening to her. I don't understand why people with such dangerous jobs aren't mandated to work in pairs. Logically, I understand that most of these agencies are short staffed but still... these are potentially very dangerous situations people are walking into sometimes.
Cps always have police with them during removals (or should) and they usually always (or should) go in pairs during visits.
@@user-vk8xi3jy3f says someone with no experience evidently
They always have the option to have a cop come with them
that has to be a tough job on her mental health. 😥
I’ve known women that got beat by the boyfriends of the person being visited . This woman’s orbital bones were cracked.. she broke other bones it was sick. She quit:
Seeing him cry like that is beyond cowardly.
Okay but this guy is actually so terrifying; he targeted a fully grown man who knew who he was, so he wasn't searching for an 'easy target' and there is no way he was going to get away with murdering his parole officer on a supervised/planned visit, so he has absolutely no fear of who he is targeting or what the circumstances are, he's of 'sound' mind as in he knows what he's doing. Easily the scariest dude I've read about.
Welcome to the real world doll.
Even his initial victim was another adult male. He's a danger to anyone he's in contact with
Should look up Jeffery dalhmer or John gacy
Really?
@@BJGreeneexactly
When you live in a world where criminals are seen as victims, this is what you end up with.
Why was this monster ever let out ! Another example of the system failing the public
I graduated in probation and parole. I’ve never accepted any kind of job in that field. Exactly my biggest fear
2nd Degree murder??????? What the heck, as soon as he made the decision to go get a knife and start stabbing it became premeditated first-degree murder at that point. Because he would’ve had to plan to commit the murder the entire way to the kitchen to get the knife!
He also knew he had a visit or if he didn't he looked out and seen who it was and probably grabbed that knife. It should be first-degree murder in my opinion also.
That's not really how 1st degree murder works though. For it to be premeditated, he would've had to have spent more than the 30 seconds it takes to go to the kitchen and grab a knife. Premeditated entails at least a day or so of planning
1st degree murder is premeditated murder, which requires the person to have planned the murder in advance of the crime. 2nd degree is when a situation develops that results in a person's unlawful death.
The justice failed their own 😢
@@johnmcmanus2447😢
He seemed like such a sweet person. I am so sorry for his loss. I am sure his family is mourning Incredibly
These officers should never have to go into a home unarmed or alone. This is why.
THIS IS DISGUSTING, THIS MAN "GRAPED" ANOTHER MAN WHY DID THEY LET HIM OUT????? WHY ARE PROBATION OFFICERS NOT OFFERED TO CARRY?? THEY ARE WATCHING OVER VIOLENT CRIMINALS; THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES!!!!
I thought probation officers carried a weapon.
Men who grape women are walking around free all the time. The reverse is rare, for a man to be graped is less than one percent of all cases.
Probation officers DO carry a firearm...
@@rebd00mer93 OH I DID NOT KNOW THAT!!! I HAVE TO RESEARCH IF THEY CARRY IN EVERY STATE!!! CAUSE THE ONES I SEE ON THE STREETS DONT CARRY!!!
@@freakywayne8790 TO BE HONEST IDK, BUT SOMEONE RESPONDED BACK TO ME AND SAID THEY DO CARRY!! I AM TRULY WONDERING WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED IN THAT APARTMENT, AND IF HE HAD HIS WEAPON ON HIM!!! THIS IS SO SAD AND SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED!!!
Offender shouldn’t be home. Court system is so backwards.
You rarely see a cop without a partner so why don't probation officers have a damn partner when they go to somebody's house
Who's gonna pay for it? People vote down tax increases but then complain about a lack of infrastructure. We could tax the wealthy, but conservatives vote that down.
Probably budgetary reasons, unfortunately.
So wrong, so sad..💔 They put probation officers in terrible and dangerous situations. My son is a probation officer, and it terrifies me. They get little to no support on the job or in court. This should be charged the same as if he was a police officer. My heart goes out to his family 🙏
It's like sending a sheep into a wolves den. Rip Mr. Martinez. Unimaginable.
Prison does not rehabilitate, it only makes them better at whatever they do.
Or surpress
Most but not all
it leaves us very bitter at society and we will get ours
I work with social workers and probation officers in California. They are sitting ducks, often making these home visits or walking alone in neighborhoods nobody should be anywhere near. They are unarmed and police are typically unavailable to provide protection or flat refuse to do so. They feel completely disposable and easily replaceable.
Allegedly???? His body was found under the killers bed
I am so sorry for his loved ones.
they should NEVER be released
I was offered a position to be a Parole Officer and DECLINED IT FOR THIS VERY REASON 😖 TY FOR YOUR SERVICE MR. MARTINEZ R I.P. 🙏💙 Most Court Systems today value profit over community lives. PRAYING FOR A PROTECT AND SERVE SYSTEM TAX PRAYERS CONTINUE PAYING FOR 🙏
Having a bulletproof vest and not carrying a firearm is almost the equivalent of a firefighter having a hose but no water 🤦♂️
Was the officer also SA’d?
This is insane.
I bet he was ! I'm just scared to say in case his family is on here but that dude that killed him,was a demon ! I bet you once they do a full autopsy, dude will get the death penalty !
Wondered about that too, especially as his previous conviction was for assaulting another man.
He looks like a kind man, so sad RIP 😢
Why are these violent things outside of a cage?
Why would they send anyone alone?!?!?!?!
Sounds like he was a danger to all men and it wouldn't surprise me if they come to the conclusion that this was sexualy motivated.
two probation officers should visit never ever alone. this is horrible person
Terrible
So parole officers can’t carry weapon on duty? They should be allowed
They carry, Martinez’s firearm was stolen during the incident.
Why would anyone go check in with offenders alone ?
This is so very sad!
Not everyone is capable of rehabilitation while in prison. This man is not. This is a monster. The court and system failed this parole officer
This is wild! Poor Officer Martinez😢 SMH 💔💔💔
Why do they not go in pairs ??
Handsome man; so sad. I live in the next county and this is just sickening. Rest well, Officer Martinez 😢
🥺🥹💔
How incredibly twisted and sad. So sorry for his victims and families.
I worked in Corrections.
We had Jeffrey Dahmer as a client. Any home visit when necessary to Hot Spots in the city always included two parole agents accompanying each other.
Corrections is awful
Client!?
@@UnknownWarriorZz Client.
I officially hate the word "allegedly" Stop using that damn word when it's truth.
They have to say allegedly as he hasn't been found guilty in a court of law, if he's then found innocent (obviously not likely in this case) they'd have grounds to sue for libel
You officially have no clue how things work and should probably read into it.
😢 this is absolutely heartbreaking
A lot of this judges in the USA are always letting this dangerous criminals out smh 🤦
unfortunately american prisons are already overcrowded. we imprison more people than any other country. seems like we’re doing something wrong
“A lot of these judges,” not “this judges.” But what you’re saying is true. However, I think it’s a parole board, a panel, that makes the decision to grant parole, though I don’t know if in this monster’s case it was a judge that granted the release.
Woke left for you
Every parole officer no matter what should always have a police officer who is armed with or arm the parole officer. They should have every right to defend themself and be given the proper tools to do so and I don't know if they have firearms if they don't your court system is failing all of you
Probation and parole officers do carry on duty
When are these demons going to stop getting parole!!!’😢🙏🏽
Some judge will give this guy parole
Don't understand why they're making them visit animals
Because that’s what a supervised release is, buddy.
@@joshuaDstarksWhich is idiotic. They should be forced to come into office.
Don't group animals in with this monster. Animals aren't evil.
@@move246Exactly, make them come to the parole office or keep them in custody. This outcome is sickening.
@@ciarajeanr Thank you! I was going to make the same point. Humans are the only ones who commit evil acts, and we do it for the enjoyment and pleasure.
How utterly tragic! so so sad.
I had no idea parole/probation officers went to the criminal's homes by themselves. 😳
Ppl really just dont think, even if he found illegal material or if he violated a condition of release, he made it 1000x worse by killing this man. Some ppl think im never back to prison....but now hes definitely going back, for life.
I feel like he probably tried to force himself on his probation officer. And it went downhill from there.
Letting someone out who permanently traumatized his former victim is wrong .
That's terrible
And that's the 🤡ustice system.
Everyone of them is getting paid because of this criminal. So the judge has got to let him out after 5 years probably.
Condoleances to the family
He seems like he was a very kind, loving man.. such a shame what happened to him. 😢
Former corrections officer here. These guys are the sickest. Should have never been released.
The way that i look at this is that two parole officers should go to a person house for a visit, not just one,but two parole officers, because you can't trust a person that been looked up over two decades, come on now, you all can't do this again to another parole officer,
Why was he alone?! In Philadelphia the POs go in pairs. Wtf
That’s crazy
I dont think the offender was concerned about more jail time (responding to a comment by the guest speaker).
take a shot every time he says "Mr. Sewell"
😂😂🙃🙃🙃🍸🍸🍷😵💫😵💫😵💫
The Judge who let him out should be in jail to because WHY TF would y’all let this demon back out on the streets are y’all serious like tf was YALL thinking
Reactionary and ignorant comment:.Judges just dont magically let people
Isn't it insane? Who agreed to let this monster out into society? Like NO!
usually they tell investigators don't go into too deep , stay at the door for a get away
Why not make house visits in pairs or trios?🧐 Why not have body cameras so the parolee will KNOW their every action is being recorded?🤔 100% preventable.
So awful! Very sad for this officer. Such a dangerous job.
This animal of an offender should have never been released from prison. Absolutely disgusting.
This is horrible! Until the system reaches the conclusion that jail doesn't work for people like that, and does what is needed then it will continue to happen. Some people just need to not exist anymore.
They failed this man…. I am still upset over this because he was helping to take care of his mother. His job kept getting complaints about going to this offenders residence yet, management did absolutely nothing!!!! No one was comfortable going to this man’s house to do a welfare check and they all knew it but lied on national television during a press conference.😡
I want to know if he had something illegal in his house that he wasn't supposed to kind of like underage material or even a weapon.
RIP to the officer so sad
Absolutely heartbreaking
When will they use the buddy system?
Bud-day!!
The dude was literally Free, all he had to do was follow a few rules. Insane!
Some people don't deserve a second chance. Poor man was killed only for doing his job.
Prison for life needs to be a thing. People are in prison for a reason.
Soo sick
This man should have never ever ever been in society PERIOD!! The victim lost his life bc a judge decided to let him out of jail. This could have been prevented. I feel so bad for his family and friends. RIP Mr. Martinez
💜💜🕊️🕊️
Never send POs to these criminal homes
My heart breaks for this officer and his family, he should've been protected, and the pervert who killed him should have been in jail. The only thing worse then him passing is him leaving an elderly mother and autistic brother behind who relied on him.
Why on earth would they allow someone to go alone into the home of a known violent offender? Seems to me that’s just a violation of common sense.
Just terrible!
These people should not be sent to these house by themselves seriously wtf going on.....2 people should be sent end of story
"To never return to work".. what about the poor man's family
If supervised release is a known danger... Then why would they continue sending one person to do the check? I don't understand in cases like this, why they don't send a duo or even trio to ensure safety? Seems like common sense to take extra precaution in situations with increased risk of violence. Sad this guy lost his life. Should have been prevented.
Wow this is so sad!
If the risk is so high, why did he go in it alone?
So sad. That poor officer. 😢
I wonder what did he do to the parole officer after he laid their helpless in that apartment if you know what I mean
