Federico Martinez, 32, was shot and killed on December 26, 2012, near his home in the Gage Park neighborhood of Chicago. He suffered gunshot wounds to the face, chest, and arms. His death was reported as Chicago’s 499th homicide for 2012, a year marked by a sharp rise in homicides driven in part by gang conflicts and widespread firearm use.

The killing occurred in an area long described as having persistent crime problems, and Martinez’s death was noted as emblematic of the surge in gun violence that affected many Chicago communities at the end of 2012.
