Gartman unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the face in the 8400 block of South Commercial Avenue at 11:48 a.m. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead at 12:12 p.m. Gartman lived on the 7600 block of South Kingston Avenue, just a few minutes’ drive from where the shooting occurred.

The attack happened in broad daylight near midday, and officers canvassed the area, but detectives offered no suspect description. No arrests have been announced in connection with his killing. Information on motive, witnesses, or a clear timeline leading to the shooting remains limited.

If anyone saw Ramon that morning or has information about the shooting, please come forward to help this investigation.
