Maria Herminia Martinez, 32, was one of six members of the Martinez family murdered in their Gage Park home in Chicago. Investigators determined the killings occurred on February 2, 2016; the bodies were found during a welfare check on February 4 after her brother Noe Martinez Jr. failed to report to work. Maria was found in an upstairs bedroom, kneeling with her head slumped on an end table. She had been shot four times in the head and had gunshot wounds to each hand; the autopsy concluded she was shot to death. Other family members had been beaten, stabbed, and shot.

Prosecutors said the motive was money. Diego Uribe Cruz, 22, a relative, and his girlfriend Jafeth Ramos, 19, were charged with six counts of first-degree murder and six counts of armed robbery. Authorities say the pair fled with cash, a piggy bank of change, a video game console, and some jewelry that was later pawned; fingernail scrapings from Maria matched Uribe Cruz’s DNA. The community was left devastated by the killings.

If anyone knew the Martinez family or has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
