Pedro Vasquez, 52, was attacked in an alley in Chicago’s Humboldt Park on October 17, 2018, and died from his injuries on May 25, 2020. Saxon then produced a gun, threatened the other man, struck Vasquez with the weapon and fired shots that struck him in the head and cheek. Vasquez lost consciousness and was beaten further before Saxon fled the scene with Vasquez’s cell phone.

Vasquez was taken to a hospital and later to a nursing home because of the severity of his wounds. The Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide, finding complications of the gunshot wounds and blunt force trauma. Court records show Saxon was charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery and was held without bail; he reportedly showed a woman a hospital photo of Vasquez and said Vasquez got what he deserved.

Are there witnesses or neighbors from Humboldt Park who recall seeing activity in that alley on October 17, 2018?
