Martarese Gentry was a 15-year-old African American boy who was fatally shot on June 16, 2015, in Chicago’s North Lawndale neighborhood. He was watching a fight between two girls when a man approached and began shooting; Martarese was struck in the chest and stomach. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead at 6:12 p.m., with the Cook County medical examiner confirming his identity and cause of death.

Area Central detectives were assigned to the case, but no one was in custody immediately after the shooting and no arrests or suspects were identified at that time. The case remained unsolved for some time, with investigators and the family noting a lack of witnesses willing to come forward.

If anyone saw the shooting or has information about the man who opened fire, please share what is known with investigators.
