Authorities have charged Steven Montano, 18, with first-degree murder in the shooting of Chicago police Officer Andres Vasquez-Lasso.
Milena Estepa de Vasquez, center, is supported by friends while attending a vigil for her late husband, Chicago police Officer Andres Vasquez-Lasso, during a vigil in his memory at Nathan Hale Park, 6258 W. 62nd St., on March 2, 2023, in Chicago. Vasquez-Lasso was fatally shot on March 1 while answering a domestic dispute call.
The killing happened hours after Brown announced he was resigning from the department and one day after Mayor Lori Lightfoot failed to garner enough votes to make the runoff election for her job.
The Rev. Matt Foley, the pastor of St. Gall Church,led the procession to the scene Thursday morning, carrying the Blessed Sacrament while a crowd of mourners followed him to pay respects and “sanctify” the ground where Vasquez-Lasso was fatally shot. “I personally went over last night to the 8th District,” he told the Tribune. “I know the commander there, and I know some of the officers, so I went over and offered my services and paid respects.”Vasquez-Lasso was in one of two pairs of responding officers who “engaged” with Montano, who allegedly ran away from the officers. That’s when police began pursuing him, and shots were exchanged “at close range” between the suspect and Vasquez-Lasso, Brown said.
