Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson will not attend the funeral of fallen police officer Enrique Martinez, honoring the family’s request after initially planning to attend.

Martinez, 26, was fatally shot during a traffic stop on November 2, just days before his third anniversary with the department.

The funeral will take place Monday at St. Rita of Cascia Shrine Chapel in Chicago, NBC 5 Chicago has reported.

Mayor Johnson expressed his condolences and emphasized the need to focus on Martinez’s legacy and give his family and the police department space to grieve.
