Jorge Martinez was 25 when he was shot and killed on November 26, 2021. The fatal shooting occurred at about 1:40 a.m. at West 177th Street and Wadsworth Avenue in Washington Heights. Martinez, a father of four with another child on the way, died after a confrontation in the street that left his family grieving.

The NYPD initially sought two men for questioning and released surveillance footage. That led to the December 23, 2021 arrest of 34-year-old Edward Sosa on a murder charge. Investigators later reviewed footage that reportedly showed Martinez and another man attempting to ambush Sosa and his girlfriend’s 17-year-old son, with Martinez allegedly brandishing a firearm. Sosa then drew a weapon and fired once; he later said he acted in self-defense.

The murder charge against Sosa was reduced to a weapons possession charge and he was released on bail. Martinez’s family expressed outrage and profound grief at that decision. Does anyone have information about Jorge, where he spent time in Washington Heights, or about the night of November 26, 2021?
