Timothy A. Martin, 53, was shot and killed during an altercation inside a North Side Chicago apartment on the night of October 17, 2025. Police say an argument inside the home on North Leavitt Street turned physical around 10:35 p.m.; shortly after, another person involved produced a gun and fired multiple times, striking Martin. He was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Officers took a person into custody at the scene. Prosecutors later identified 23-year-old Gabriel Medina as the shooter and charged him with homicide. At a detention hearing prosecutors described a birthday gathering for Medina’s mother, a scuffle in the living room, and Medina returning from his bedroom with a loaded handgun he was licensed to own before firing five shots that struck Martin. A judge ordered Medina detained pending trial.

Does anyone have information about the gathering on North Leavitt Street that night or saw what happened inside the apartment?
