On November 4, 2024, Chicago Police Officer Enrique Martinez #8314 was shot and killed in the line of duty. Officer Martinez, just 26 years old, made the ultimate sacrifice during a traffic stop while protecting the city’s South Side.
I am devastated to hear of yet another Chicago Police Officer who was slain while serving his community. My thoughts and prayers go out to Officer Martinez’s family, friends, and fellow Officers during this incredibly difficult time.
