Kenneth Alfred Barnett Martin, a 40-year-old Black man from Chicago who was also known as Alfred Barnett or Kenneth Martin, was shot while seated behind the wheel of a car near 69th Street and Paulina Avenue in West Englewood on June 23, 2014. He was wounded in the groin, tried to drive away, crashed a short distance later and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center for surgery. He died of his injuries on June 27, 2014.

According to investigators, the victim told detectives from his hospital bed he knew the shooter by a nickname and gave the man’s phone number. Witnesses identified the assailant as the person who walked up to the driver’s window and fired, and surveillance images were reviewed by detectives. Officers found a suspect, 29-year-old Carl Smith, hiding under a bed at his girlfriend’s home and took him into custody; a judge ordered him held without bond while prosecutors detailed the victim’s identification of his shooter.

Does anyone have additional information about Kenneth Martin’s last days or the area around 69th and Paulina on June 23, 2014?
