Johnny L. Martin was a 31-year-old Chicago Police Department officer who was shot and killed on June 28, 1990. He had served four years with the department and was off-duty when the fatal ambush occurred. Martin was speaking with a neighbor who had confronted a man breaking into vehicles when the suspect returned on a bicycle armed with a .32 caliber handgun and shot Martin in the chest at close range. Martin returned fire with his off-duty weapon as the suspect fled.

The suspect was later arrested, convicted of first-degree murder, and sentenced to 35 years in prison; he was released on parole in 2007. Family, friends, and colleagues remember Officer Martin as a wonderful and caring individual whose short time on the force made an impact. Are there people who knew Officer Martin or witnessed events that night who can share memories or information?
