Aileen Martinez Death News – A South Florida family is mourning the loss of their daughter after announcing plans to honor her life following a tragic incident outside a Broward County beauty school earlier this week. The family of 20-year-old Aileen Martinez shared a statement expressing deep sorrow as they prepare to remember their eldest child.
In a press release issued Thursday, Martinez’s family said they are heartbroken by her sudden passing and are struggling to cope with the loss. They described the experience as overwhelming and said they are navigating an extremely difficult time together.
“We are devastated by the unexpected loss of our daughter,” the family shared. “While our grief is immense, we find comfort in knowing she lived fully and passionately during her time with us, and we hold onto the belief that she is now at peace.”
The family also expressed concern about violence and emphasized their hope that awareness and prevention efforts can help avoid similar tragedies in the future. They asked the community for understanding and compassion as they grieve privately.
Martinez was a student at the Aveda Institute in Davie, where she was pursuing her studies in cosmetology. Her family said she was deeply committed to her education and enthusiastic about her future in the beauty industry. In addition to her cosmetology training, Martinez had spent the past four years studying music at a local school. She frequently performed with bands at events throughout South Florida.
According to her family, music played a central role in her life and was an important part of her identity. They described her as creative, driven, and passionate, with a strong desire to express herself through both beauty and music.
The incident occurred Tuesday afternoon shortly after 2 p.m. outside the Aveda Institute. Police confirmed that Martinez died at the scene. Authorities stated that the incident involved someone she had previously known, though they have not released further details. The investigation remains ongoing as law enforcement works to fully understand the circumstances surrounding the event.
To help ease the financial burden during this time, the family has set up an online fundraiser to assist with funeral and burial expenses. They said this support will allow them to focus on honoring Martinez’s life and supporting one another as they grieve. Funeral and memorial arrangements are currently being planned and will be shared once finalized.
The family also respectfully requested privacy as they move forward, asking the public to keep them in their thoughts while they mourn the loss of a beloved daughter, sister, and friend.
Community members, classmates, and instructors have expressed sadness over Martinez’s passing, remembering her as a young woman full of promise and creativity. Her family hopes she will be remembered for her talent, kindness, and the joy she brought to those around her.
Authorities have indicated that updates will be provided as the investigation continues. They also encouraged anyone with relevant information to cooperate with law enforcement while reminding the public to rely on confirmed information and avoid speculation.
