(Peter Nickeas / Chicago Tribune / December 26, 2012)



























































A man died after he was shot in the face, chest and arms in the Gage Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side.


Federico Martinez was shot in an alley east of California Avenue just south of 54th Street about 10 p.m. Wednesday, according to authorities. He lived a few houses south of where he was killed.


Martinez was standing on the street with a woman when someone drove by in a light-colored truck with tinted windows and opened fire, police said.





Martinez was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The man's family gathered there after he was shot.


Eight detectives arrived at the scene and began their investigation early Thursday morning, their unmarked police cars crowding the narrow block of 54th Street between California and Fairfield avenues. 


A young woman wept next to red tape at the crime scene.
