John Wesley Seth Jr was an 80-year-old African American Vietnam veteran who was shot and killed in his driveway in Killeen, Texas, on May 30, 2017. The killing followed a long-standing feud with his neighbor, 86-year-old Santiago Vasquez. Witnesses said Vasquez shouted at Seth, struck him with a cane and pushed him to the ground before shooting him three times.

Seth’s family said he had filed numerous police reports over the years alleging harassment and property damage by the neighbor, but that little had been done to resolve the conflict. Vasquez was arrested and charged with murder; at trial he claimed self-defense but was convicted of first-degree murder on May 14, 2019 and given a 14-year sentence. Seth’s relatives described feeling relief and a measure of closure after the verdict.

Did anyone in Killeen know more about the feud between these two men or remember incidents that could shed light on how it escalated?
