Elizalde, who was doing laundry around 1 p.m. March 29 in the 1200 block of High Street, was struck by a bullet that entered her home after two of four men who were arguing nearby pulled out guns and began firing at each other.
Elizalde was a twin and a mother of two teenagers.
Martinez, who was booked at the Ventura County Jail on $500,000 bail, was set to be in court Tuesday.
