<p class="mol-para-with-font">A 39-year-old Las Vegas woman who was beaten into a coma by her ex-boyfriend and eventually died of her injuries last week, apparently for saw her own demise and predicted her own death on social media.<br />
The Clark County coroner said Stella Martinez died on June 23 at Summer in Hospital of brain injuries following the June 3 incident.<br />
Her death was ruled a homicide.<br />
Police say a patrol officer responding to a report of a man trying to break into a home saw 41-year-old Christopher Wood attacking and choking Martinez on the ground in the backyard.<br />
Martinez was hospitalized for nearly three weeks before she died.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8216;I&#8217;ll be dead before (they) do anything,&#8217; she wrote in a Facebook comment in January.<br />
Her Facebook account has been deactivated.<br />
The Facebook accounts of both Martinez and Wood indicate that the pair began dating around May of last year.<br />
They are seen together in photos dated all throughout 2016, exchanging loving messages to one another in August and October.<br />
But this past January, the tone of the social media posts changed dramatically.<br />
&#8216;I wish I never met you, I did everything for you,&#8217; Martinez wrote.<br />
She accused Wood of being a sociopath who destroyed her life, according to the Review Journal.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Martinez went public on social media in order to warn other women about Wood and as a means of empowering herself.<br />
&#8216;Although I have no doubt [you&#8217;re] still going to try to kill me but you will never find me,&#8217; she posted on his Facebook page in January.<br />
When Martinez posted the messages on her own account, a number of her Facebook friends urged her to either obtain a restraining order against Wood or move out of town where she would be safe.<br />
Martinez also posted messages on Wood&#8217;s Facebook wall, but those messages were largely ignored, according to the Review Journal.</p>

She posted a number of Facebook messages on her profile which suggest that she was helpless in the face of an abusive man who she feared would one day kill her</strong></h6>
<div class="artSplitter mol-img-group"> She also posted messages indicating that she lacked faith in the police&#8217;s ability to protect her.</div>
<div class="artSplitter mol-img-group">
<p class="imageCaption">Police confirmed that they were called several times about domestic violence incidents between the couple.<br />
On one occasion, police arrested Martinez and charged her with a crime.<br />
Martinez wrote on her Facebook account that she feared police would once again turn against her if she sought their help.<br />
Christopher Wood has a prior history of domestic battery.<br />
In 2014 he pled guilty to a charge of attempted battery resulting in substantial bodily harm and was sentenced to a year in prison. Police records show he attacked his ex-wife with his truck at her home.<br />
He drove his truck into a car parked on her driveway, pinning her between two vehicles and injuring her, records show.<br />
Before she was killed, her family believed the couple had broken off their relationship decisively, Avras said.<br />
Those who knew Martinez said she felt compassion for Wood and wanted to help him &#8211; just as she had wanted to help others who suffered from drug addiction, as she had.<br />
&#8216;Stella had a heart for people who struggled,&#8217; her friend Rachael Chesin said.<br />
&#8216;She helped many people get clean, and she truly loved God and loved people deeply.&#8217;<br />
Social media posts suggest the two began dating about May 2016. The pair are seen in a number of photographs together throughout 2016 and can be seen in August and October exchanging expressions of love on each other’s pages.<br />
But the public face of the relationship took a turn shortly afterward. Martinez posted on Wood’s page in January, calling him a sociopath.<br />
“I wish I never met you, I did everything for you,” she wrote. She then accused him of destroying her life.</p>

</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Martinez wrote that she was calling him out on social media to take back her power and warn other women about him.<br />
Other comments foreshadowed the danger she faced.<br />
“Although I have no doubt (you’re) still going to try to kill me but you will never find me,” she posted on his Facebook page in January.<br />
In one comment, she described failed efforts to seek help from authorities. She wrote that police had taken his side in previous disputes and would not help her.<br />
Avras told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that police were called several times. After one fight, North Las Vegas officers booked Martinez, not Wood, on a domestic violence charge, she said.<br />
Sgt. Ann Cavaricci, a North Las Vegas police spokeswoman, confirmed that officers responded to a fight between the couple in November. Martinez was arrested and convicted of a domestic violence charge.<br />
She stopped calling the police after that, because she was afraid they would turn against her, Avras said.<br />
Martinez’s social network had responded to her posts, urging her to get a protection order, move and get away. Her posts on Wood’s page were generally ignored, except in a few instances in which he called Martinez crazy.</p>
