Ulysses Martin, 49, was fatally shot on April 2, 2012, near 62nd Street and Talman Avenue in the Marquette Park neighborhood on Chicago’s Southwest Side. He was found with gunshot wounds late at night and died at the scene despite emergency responders arriving quickly.

The shooting occurred in a part of the city that had significant problems with violence and gang activity; 2012 was a year when Chicago experienced a marked increase in homicides, with many incidents taking place in residential neighborhoods. The community reacted with mourning as the city’s efforts to curb violence, including stepped-up law enforcement and anti–gang initiatives, struggled to prevent losses like Martin’s.
