Ex-girlfriend testifies in trial against Chicago man who allegedly killed 6 members of same family in 2016.
An employee of Bio-One, a company that specializes in biohazard removal and crime scene cleanup, walks past memorials Feb. 10, 2016, at the home where six members of the Martinez family were found slain the previous week.
On Feb. 2, 2016, Uribe Cruz drove Ramos to a doctor’s appointment that they didn’t realize was scheduled for another day, Ramos said. She said that instead of heading back home, though, Uribe Cruz started driving to the house where the Martinez family lived. He told her they were going to “come back with some money,” she said.“At some point, he said he was going to kill them. I didn’t take him seriously,” Ramos testified.
It was a rainy, gloomy afternoon, Ramos said, when they got to the house where the Martinez family lived. Prosecutors showed the jury a photograph of a quaint brick home with white windows. The two children at the house were Maria Herminia’s sons with Armando Cruz, who was at the time living in Mexico. He was present at the trial Wednesday, however; he cried and left the courtroom when Ramos began to recount the killings of the two boys.
Shortly after, Noe Martinez Jr. came up the stairs and, after seeing his sister slumped on the ground, got into a struggle with Uribe Cruz, Ramos said.But Uribe Cruz was able to overpower Noe and choked him, Ramos added. She retrieved the phones at Uribe Cruz’s insistence and put them in his book bag. The matriarch of the family then came up the stairs.
Ramos said she left the house from the rear and came back inside only to see the patriarch of the family, Noe Martinez Sr., on the ground as Uribe Cruz stabbed him. Prosecutors said the defendant stabbed the children’s grandfather over 40 times.Chicago Tribune editors' top story picks, delivered to your inbox each afternoon.After mopping floors and wiping doorknobs, the couple left the house, later hocking the jewelry at a pawnshop, Ramos said.
