Christopher Vazquez Rivera, 24, died June 27, 2014, at The Reading Hospital after being shot during a family dispute. Born January 14, 1990, in Humacao, Puerto Rico, he lived in Reading, PA, and is survived by a young son, Jason Vazquez Cavalieri, and other family members. Reports say the shooter was a family member who was intoxicated and used his girlfriend’s gun; the shooter did not immediately notify authorities.

The family has criticized the investigation and the lack of charges against the known suspect and created a petition calling for a full investigation and prosecution. Christopher is remembered by relatives and friends as kind and cheerful; his funeral services were held at St. John’s Baptist Church in Reading.

Does anyone have information about the June 27, 2014 incident or about Christopher’s life in Reading that could help clarify what happened?
