Ramon C. Vasquez, a 25-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on March 11, 2015, in Saginaw Township, Michigan, during a foiled robbery at an apartment where a poker game was underway. Vasquez and at least one other masked individual entered the apartment intending to rob the twelve players. Shortly after they entered, one of the robbers fired a handgun. A poker player with a concealed pistol license drew his weapon and returned fire; Vasquez was found in a hallway and later died at Covenant HealthCare.

The shooting was ruled a justifiable homicide by the Saginaw County Prosecutor’s Office, which determined the poker player acted in self-defense and brought no criminal charges in Vasquez’s death. Three men involved in planning and carrying out the attempted robbery were arrested and prosecuted: Jason D. McGowan, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit armed robbery and a felony firearm charge; Christopher M. Talkington, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit armed robbery; and Jesse M. Bobain, who was shot multiple times during the incident and also faced charges.

If anyone knew Vasquez, the other participants that night, or has information about the robbery attempt, please share what is known.
