Memorial Sign
An honorary street sign was put up the other day:
Chicago Police Commander Bryan Spreyne called out the names of his 8th District officers one by one Sunday.
Officer Enrique Martinez’s name was called three times as the officers stood at attention in the 6300 block of South Komensky Avenue before Spreyne spoke again, this time to say “may you never be forgotten.”
Martinez was shot to death while making a traffic stop in Chatham Nov. 4, 2024, just a month before the 26-year-old would have marked three years with the Chicago Police Department.
The West Lawn block the officer grew up on, now known as Officer Enrique Martinez Avenue, was dedicated on what would’ve been his 28th birthday.
There was also a list of Officers killed recently in the article:
- He’s among several Chicago officers who have been killed both on and off duty in recent years: Luis Huesca, Aréanah Preston, Andres Vasquez Lasso, Ella French, Krystal Rivera [...] and most recently, John Bartholomew last month.
So many lives, many so very young, stolen from us all.
We hate seeing these street signs because they demonstrate the depravity of Chicago criminals, but every one of these Officers should have one.

So sad. Brakes my heart.
Is their a street sign for Commander Paul Bauer?
why not have indiana force east chicgo to annex the bears site then everybody is happy
Very nice dedication.
OT. Larry Snelling and Street Deputies need to be in charge of all Teen Takeovers moving forward. Lead from the front for once.
Your a p.o.s this is about young officers paying the ultimate price...you fucking troll.
Truly sad how far society has fallen. The lack of any type of decency or respect by some in our city never ceases to amaze me. Its truly gut wrenching every time we lose another officer to a city that shows so little gratitude. We must be there for each other and for the loved ones left behind by the carnage this city piles upon us. Stay safe out there, proud but sad retired guy.🙏🙏🙏
Nicely done.
May perpetual light shine upon them.
Is there an update on PO Crespo?
A few Hispanic names. Doesn't fit well with the "white racist police" narrative. Does it. Killed for what? Too young. Gonev so soon. RIP Officers.
Brandon and Pigster should have alleys, or "dead ends" if anything, named after them.
Hey dipshit, what does this have to do with a street sign dedication for a fallen officer?
100's of black teens takeover 57th street beach. mass shooting in Austin. black teens are out of control by a weak progressive mayor. mayor has cpd to protect his family, we do not. 2 arrests at the beach , no suspects for mass shooting. democrats will say whites are the biggest threat to democracy. Do you believe them?
There should be a designation that applies to first responders only
there are signs up throughout the city renamed for shitty folks
Will the Department violate people's rights if the DOJ doesn't find anything criminal?

WTF are you talking about ?!
Wrong article douchebag
What a weird thing to comment on a post about chicago police officers that have been murdered.
very nice ceremony thst d-ckhead mayor a no show he will probally be reelected because their are enough george soros stacy gates supporter
Read the post you idiot
So, I waited a bit. You want the truth. What you need is a giant warning sign. So and so killed a police officer on this spot and was executed on x and x date by electrocution. Kill a police officer and you too will be electrocuted.
They should renamed Donavan park Bauer/Donavan park. George Donavan CFD killed in the line of duty. Both were from the Bridgeport neighborhood.
Calling our names doesn’t mean anything when HE HIMSELF is purposefully denying our to froms to spend time with the people who matter the most… OUR FAMILES! Dog and pony show, he doesn’t care about the beat officers.
Thrilled he's a no show. Stay away from our brave and fallen's memories koo koo conehead.
Oh, that’s funny!!!
You want a gold star to actually go out and lead? From the front?
They’ll tell maybe a commander- it goes wrong- commander takes the fall.
It goes right, the other boss takes the credit.
There was one street deputy that actually lead from the front- he took a 30 day suspension.
That showed the other bosses.
Shut up Ike you racist pig
Not a Cop…
but I used to see Enrique at Mr Big’s Gym on 63rd years back. Younger than me decent kid. Would talk to me about strength training. It’s too bad. Lots of LODD from cpd and cfd within the last two years. I gotta ask who is in charge of both Deptartments.
Get a new job. McDonald’s is hiring, the burbs are hiring…
Wowie! No matter the topic or which game you play your position must always be "left-field" Mr. Anonymous. How about you go tailgate in a vacant lot in East Chicago and wait for the Bears to show up...and leave the adults here to post comments?
5/27/2026 04:41:38 AM you must be a divorced miserable low life prick.
5/27/2026 04:41:38 AM You must be part of his admin staff that works half days and has never hit the streets.
There is one for Harold Bone
