Joshua Martinez was 20 when he was killed on April 13, 2014, in Chicago. He is remembered by his daughter Laylah, his girlfriend Marla, and his parents Alicia and Sergio. The death left a deep impact on his family and friends.

After an argument and a brief physical fight, Jara is said to have lured Joshua to his home to retrieve the money. While Joshua waited on the front porch, Jara allegedly opened the door slightly and fired five times with a .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun with a laser scope, striking Joshua in the head, lower back, left side and left shoulder. Joshua was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police recovered the firearm at Jara’s residence, and a witness identified him as the shooter. Jara was taken into custody and charged as an adult with one count of first-degree murder; he was held without bond and ordered to remain in custody by Cook County Criminal Court Judge James Brown.
