About Martha Dixon

Special Agent Martha Dixon Martinez was born in January 1959 in Pittsburgh. Martha received her undergraduate degree in Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh in 1982 and worked as a forensic chemist for the Arkansas State Crime Lab. She joined the FBI in 1987 and, while assigned to the Knoxville Field Office, became a technically trained agent and the first female SWAT team member for that field office. Martha was assigned to the Washington (DC) Field Office in 1992 and worked drug cases, violent crimes, and cold cases. Martha looked forward to returning to forensics and was a founding member of WFO’s Evidence Response Team, which was renamed the Dixon-Martinez Evidence Response Team in her honor.

On May 21, 1996,  Martha Dixon Martinez is posthumously awarded the FBI Memorial Star and Medal of Valor. The plaque accepted by her parents read "The heroic actions of Agent Martinez prevented the possibility of even greater loss of life and serious injury to other law enforcement officials and citizens within the building."

Special Agents Martha Dixon Martinez and Michael John Miller, as well as Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Sergeant Hank Daly, were shot and killed inside the District’s police headquarters building on November 22, 1994. The gunman entered the “cold case” squad room, to which the agents were assigned, and opened fire with an assault weapon. The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Pittsburgh Field Office was named in honor of Martha Dixon Martinez on November 20, 2001.

MARTHA DIXON LOVED LIFE. She was an avid runner and a loving family member and friend, often combining running events with special visits. Inspired by her passion, one of our primary fundraisers is a 10K race through the tree-lined streets of Mt. Lebanon.
