San Antonio's Joaquin Castro invites spouse of hate crime victim to State of the Union address

The spouse of a victim who was murdered in an alleged racially-motivated hate crime last year will be U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro's (D-San Antonio) special guest at President Biden's State of the Union address next Thursday. Aaron Martinez was shot multiple times and killed at his ranch in Forney, a rural suburb of Dallas, exactly 10 months ago. Family members, neighbors, and Castro maintain that Martinez's murder was racially motivated and that the suspect, Trevor McEuen, had made derogatory and threatening remarks towards Martinez in the months prior to the incident.
