Afterward the incident, Martinez stopped at the Burger King at 2002 50th Street. An employee was taking a customer's order when they noticed Martinez banging on the windows, bleeding from the head.

Police say that Martinez suffered a wound to her left hand in addition to one on the left side of her head. Her back windshield was also completely shattered.
