    Does he counted as a martyr or something?

    Edit: Yes he did

    In 1997, Pope John Paul II bestowed upon Romero the title of Servant of God, and a cause for his beatification was opened by the church. The cause stalled, but was reopened by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012. Romero was declared a martyr by Pope Francis on 3 February 2015, paving the way for his beatification on 23 May 2015. During Romero’s beatification, Pope Francis declared that his “ministry was distinguished by his particular attention to the most poor and marginalized.”[6] Pope Francis canonized Romero on 14 October 2018.
