According to the local media, the background to the crime is unclear, and the investigation is still ongoing. The police are also working with a version according to which the young athlete, whose long-distance maximum was 807 cm and also excelled in sprints of 60 and 200 meters, accidentally got into a shootout.
Martin’s athletic colleagues also express their deepest condolences to the family. “He was a great guy, he never had a problem,” Martin’s coach Eddie Sanders was quoted as saying by the Detroit Free Press.
