Patrol Sergeant Gregory Keith Martin, a 30-year-old officer with the Jonesville Police Department, was killed October 5, 1996, during a solo midnight shift. He reported a traffic stop involving a red Dodge Ram after following a suspicious man from behind a strip mall on Highway 67 to Interstate 77. At 2:42 am he called in the stop; a nearby state trooper who responded found Sergeant Martin on the side of the road, shot multiple times in the head at close range. The suspect fled and stole a van from a nearby location.

Martin had served three years with the department and left behind a wife and three children. The case later produced arrests and convictions more than a decade after the killing, and a bridge on I-77 near Jonesville was dedicated as the Gregory Martin Memorial Bridge in his memory. If anyone knew Sergeant Martin, the events that night, or the red Dodge Ram, please share information that could shed light on what happened.
