Larry Snelling speaks to reporters about the fatal shooting of Officer Enrique Martinez on Thursday, Nov. 4, 2024.Chicago Police Department Both suspects in police custody have criminal records, including one man who was placed on electronic monitoring in Will County.The Will County sheriff’s office issued a warrant for his arrest last month and he was charged with a felony for trying to foil a drug test, according to court records. At the time, the 23-year-old was already facing felony cannabis charges.Chicago police arrested him on the warrant on Oct. 11, and he was later turned over to authorities from Will County, court records show. After he was released on electronic monitoring in the new case, Will County prosecutors sought to have him detained pending trial on the cannabis charges. That case was continued on Oct. 28.He previously pleaded guilty to a felony charge of shooting into a vehicle in May 2021, court records show.While he was being held in jail in that case, he was hit with additional felony charges stemming from a mob attack on another inmate. He pleaded guilty to a battery charge that was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor on the same day as his other plea deal.He was sentenced to four years in jail in the shooting case, with 728 days served, as well as mandatory supervised release. He was only given fines and forced to pay court costs in the other case, records show.A spokesperson for the Will County state’s attorney’s office said prosecutors are cooperating with the state’s pretrial services office and the Chicago police homicide investigation, but declined to comment further.The other man, 26, from Washington Heights, was charged with felonies after he was allegedly found with pills and weed during an Oct. 3 traffic stop in Englewood. The charges were dropped during his first court appearance on Oct. 24, records show.Snelling said officials have to do more to prevent "repeat offenders" from committing crimes."We cannot allow people to continue to wreak havoc on this city, to victimize people with violent crimes, robberies, shootings," he said. "The trauma that they’re causing for families and for individuals that they’re attacking, they can never get that back."Union boss calls shooting ‘worst case scenario’John Catanzara, the Fraternal Order of Police president, said he’s “almost become numb” to the violence impacting Chicago cops.“It’s part of the landscape sadly,” Catanzara said.He insisted that video purportedly showing the deadly encounter demonstrates the delicate line that officers must walk. In the video, an officer can be heard repeatedly ordering someone to “stop reaching.”“You’re gonna get f------ shot,” the officer says before a barrage of gunfire rings out. Catanzara said it’s another example of “how quickly things can go bad.”“This is the worst case scenario of what a lot of idiots in this city and across this country believe,” Catanzara said, “that an officer apparently needs to be shot at first or shot and killed before it’s appropriate to return fire.” Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7 President John Catanzara walks out of the Leighton Criminal Courthouse after the bond hearings for two brothers charged in connection with the fatal shooting of Chicago Police Officer Ella French, Tuesday, Aug. 10, 2021, in Chicago. French, 29, was fatally shot and her partner was critically wounded in West Englewood during a traffic stop Saturday night. Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times file He accused a host of public officials of “vilifying the police” and said they shouldn’t bother attending Martinez’s funeral. The list included Mayor Brandon Johnson, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, Inspector General Deborah Witzburg, COPA employees and anyone who voted in favor of the SAFE-T Act criminal justice legislation.“The only consideration should be what the family’s wishes are,” he said, noting that Martinez’s family is also on the police force. “There is no protocol that says the mayor has to be at the funeral, regardless of what this department says and tries to nudge the family towards. “If the family decides that they do not want specific people there, that should be good enough.”
