The victims—two men, two women and two boys ages 10 and 13,—were found dead Thursday afternoon after police checked on the well-being of a man who didn’t show up to work for two days.</p> <p>Family members and the medical examiner’s office identified the victims as: 62-year-old <a href="http://homicides.suntimes.com/victims/noe-martinez-sr/">Noe Martinez Sr.</a> and his wife, 58-year-old <a href="http://homicides.suntimes.com/victims/rosaura-martinez/">Rosaura Martinez</a>; their adult children, 38-year-old <a href="http://homicides.suntimes.com/victims/noe-martinez-jr/">Noe Martinez Jr. </a>and 32-year-old <a href="http://homicides.suntimes.com/victims/maria-herminia-martinez/">Maria Herminia Martinez</a>; and Herminia’s sons, 10-year-old <a href="http://homicides.suntimes.com/victims/alexis-cruz/">Alexis Cruz</a> and 13-year-old <a href="http://homicides.suntimes.com/victims/leonardo-cruz/">Leonardo Cruz</a>.</p> <p>Autopsies found the boys suffered “sharp force” injuries, which a spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office defined as either a stabbing or cutting wound, or both. Herminia Martinez died of gunshot wounds. Noe Martinez Sr. died of “sharp force” wounds. And his wife and his son, Noe Jr., died of “multiple sharp and blunt force injuries,” autopsies showed.</p> <p>While a police source said the family was targeted, no motive for the crime has been given, and no suspects were in custody four days later.</p> <p>The last homicide of the week left one man dead and another wounded in a Humboldt Park neighborhood shooting Sunday afternoon.
