Police Search for Clues in Shooting Death of a Dad Who Saved Son's Life [View all]


Police are asking the public to help identify suspects involved in an Inglewood shooting that left a 28-year-old father dead after he shielded his 8-year-old son from the barrage of bullets.

Fredrick Martin and his son, Tre, were in front of their garage Tuesday night when gunfire broke out in the 3200 block of W. 109th Street, police said.

When he heard the shots, the elder Martin pushed his son to the ground and covered him with his body. Martin suffered gunshot wounds to his abdomen and upper torso and later died at the hospital.
