Jose Martinez, 24

Jose Martinez, a 24-year-old Latino, was fatally shot Saturday, Sept. 25, in the 2900 block of Division Street on the boundary of Cypress Park and Glassell Park, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.

Jose Martinez and his brother Samuel Martinez, a 20-year-old Latino, were killed about 12:50 a.m. Both were shot once in the head and died at the scene, according to coroner's records.

Marvin Gonzalez, 19, also was shot and wounded and was in critical condition at a local hospital.

The men were heading to a liquor store when they were approached by several suspects who asked about their gang affiliations.

Apparently not satisfied with the answers, the suspects opened fire, said Sgt. Gregory Whortan of the Los Angeles Police Department's Northeast Division.

Police said the victims were not gang members.
