Saturday, November 16, 2024

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said Saturday he will no longer attend the funeral for fallen CPD Officer Enrique Martinez at his family's request. Johnson released statement on Saturday afternoon, saying, "I heard from the family and am honoring their request and will no longer plan to attend the honors funeral services. This has been an emotional two weeks for the loved ones of Officer Martinez, the Chicago Police Department, and the city of Chicago. We all want to do right by Officer Martinez and give his family and the CPD family space to grieve. The focus must remain on Officer Martinez, his loved ones, and the CPD as our city continues to honor his ultimate sacrifice and legacy of service."

Johnson previously said he would attend the funeral for Martinez, who was shot and killed No. 4 while conducting a traffic stop near 80th and Ingleside, despite the Fraternal Order of Police saying the officer's family does not want the Chicago mayor or Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker there.
