Federal prosecutors say a Latin King gang leader offered a $10,000 bounty for the killing of a senior immigration enforcement officer after an ICE agent shot a woman in Chicago this weekend. A source familiar with the investigation identified the intended target as Commander Gregory Bovino, who has been leading the Border Patrol’s high-profile “Midway Blitz” operation in the city.

Juan Espinoza Martinez, 37, known by the street name “Monkey,” is accused of offering $10,000 reward for Bovino’s murder and $2,000 for information about Bovino’s location.

The case, unsealed on Monday, outlines how Martinez allegedly used social media, encrypted messaging, and his position within the Latin Kings to rally members of the gang after a police-involved shooting involving Border Patrol in Brighton Park on Saturday.

A federal source told investigators that Martinez dispatched gang members to the area of the shooting scene, instructing them to acquire weapons and guard Latin Kings territory near 26th Street and South Drake Avenue.

According to the complaint, Martinez sent a Snapchat message showing a photo of Bovino alongside a Spanish-language caption that translated to: “$2,000 on information when you get him.” Another message, prosecutors said, confirmed the Latin Kings’ involvement in plotting the attack.

Investigators linked Martinez to the communications through subscriber records and a phone number tied to his CashApp account. Surveillance teams later observed him driving a red 2014 Ford pickup truck registered in his name near the gang’s stronghold in Little Village.

The complaint states Martinez has the authority to order violent acts including murder and notes the gang’s long-standing reputation for carrying out “hits” against rivals and law enforcement.

Martinez is charged with murder-for-hire.

He deserves to die. They are destroying families and community of Latin Kings.
