Genorel Martin, 24, was fatally shot outside his apartment building on the 6700 block of South Throop Street in Englewood on October 18, 2014. The shooting happened in the early morning as he was opening the front door to his building; someone outside fired into the entryway and struck him, resulting in his death.

The killing occurred during a violent weekend in Chicago that produced two fatalities and nine other shooting victims, and it was reported against the backdrop of widespread gun violence and gang-related activity affecting several neighborhoods in 2014. Martin’s name was added to a list of those lost to firearm violence that year, underscoring the human cost to vulnerable communities.

If anyone knew Genorel or has information about the shooting on South Throop Street, please share what you know with investigators.
