Robert Martinez, a 29-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on June 15, 2022, in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood. He was seated at a stoplight with his fiancée around 6:10 p.m. at the 2300 block of S. Western Avenue when an assailant exited a vehicle, approached their car and opened fire. Martinez was struck multiple times and taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead; his fiancée was not injured.

Area detectives describe the attacker as having exited a vehicle to carry out the shooting, a detail that investigators say points to a targeted attack.
