His family confirmed his passing on Sunday, expressing their heartbreak and asking for privacy during this difficult time. No official cause of death has been released.
Reports have added a tragic layer to his final hours. According to the East Bay Times, Martin passed away while in Oakland police custody early Saturday morning.

An investigation is ongoing, and many are waiting for answers.
