A 19-year-old man from Colorado killed one of his roommates with a knife over a bottle of hot sauce. KDVR says that George Vigil got into a heated fight with another person who lived in his house about where the hot sauce was. Vigil was asked where the hot sauce was by someone who wanted to make a sandwich. The fight began when Vigil said it was in a bedroom upstairs.
The victim, who was not named, dared Vigil to a fight. A probable cause statement says that Vigil always had a switchblade knife with them. Vigil is said to have swung the knife at the target, cutting him and knocking him to the ground. The person was taken to the hospital, but they were declared dead soon after getting there.
Vigil was caught and is now being charged with murder in the second degree. The case is still being looked into further.
Colorado 19-Year-Old Allegedly Kills Someone Over Hot Sauce
I find it strange that the tragedy above made me think of something that happened near me. NBC Washington reports that a Popeyes customer in Maryland was stabbed to death in 2022 because they didn’t like the new chicken burgers that the restaurant was selling at the time. When Kevin Tyrell Davis cut in front of the queue, Ricoh McClain spoke to him.
After arguing, they left the restaurant, and McClain stabbed Davis once right away. Davis passed away in the hospital. McClain was asked to serve 35 years by the State’s Attorney’s Office for Prince George’s County. That being said, McClain was given 22 years in jail after being found guilty of second-degree murder.
Some people said that Judge Peter Killough, who was in charge of the case, had been too easy on the defendants. “I was a juvenile judge not long ago, so I know what it’s like for a child when their dad isn’t around.” Killough told her, “I gave you a sentence so you can get back to your kids’ lives.” The state’s attorney for Prince George’s County, Aisha Braveboy, was upset with the result.
“I respect what the courts chose.” “We don’t agree because we believe in accountability,” Braveboy said. “When you’ve taken someone’s life, I mean, that is the ultimate offence.”
