One man was killed and another was taken into custody over the weekend in Colorado after an argument over a bottle of spicy sauce erupted into a violent and eventually lethal rage, according to Mile High State police. A rather brief press release from the Denver Police Department on Monday afternoon stated that George Vigil, 19, is charged with one count of second-degree murder.
The case is cloaked in mystery in a number of ways, but ultimately, an affidavit of probable cause received by Law&Crime states that the defendant knew someone who was fatally stabbed. At Mile High Stadium, home of the Denver Broncos football team in the National Football League, there was a house on Federal Boulevard close to Empower Field where the incident happened. The incident was reported to 911 dispatchers on Sunday night, shortly before 5:22 p.m.
The woman on the other end said, “Hello, I have someone who was stabbed.” The affidavit states, “Voices could be heard yelling in the background of the call.” Along with “two gentlemen and a female, and one gentleman with a knife,” the woman claimed to be with the dispatcher. According to her description, the man was hurt “on the left side of his ribs.” “I just need somebody here right away,” the 911 caller continued – by now crying for help. “We urgently need an ambulance to arrive here. presently. presently. Please help, he’s bleeding to death.
“Who did this to him?” the dispatcher then inquired. The woman said, “George Vigil.” According to the affidavit, responding police evaluated the situation as medical personnel took care of the victim. According to what the police wrote, the victim had “two separate sharp force injuries.” The individual sustained two stab wounds: one to his left back and one to his left rib cage. After being taken to the Denver Health Medical Center, he was declared dead at 5:59 p.m. due to his injuries.
Police claim Vigil made an unprompted statement to them when he was being arrested in the extensively redacted court record; however, the full sentence has been suppressed. The law enforcement account continues, “George VIGIL’s hands and clothing were stained with apparent fresh blood.” “There were no obvious cuts or wounds on his body. He requested a counsel as the police led him to the car after taking him into jail.
The victim and Vigil have a relationship of some kind, according to a witness whose name is also withheld from the affidavit. The witness told police that the victim had “arrived to visit as he usually does more than one time per week” earlier that evening to “check on” someone or something. The witness went on to say that the fight and subsequent violence were specifically related to where a bottle of hot sauce was kept.
The witness claimed to have seen the defendant “swing an arm” as the man drew closer, and the police recorded this as one of the fatal blows. “Frequently carried a switchblade type knife in his front pants pocket,” the witness said to police Vigil. The affidavit states that after that, the man “fell to the ground and began bleeding profusely,” which is what prompted the 911 call.
When Vigil appeared in court for the first time on Monday, the judge ordered his detention without bond. The defendant is not visible on the Denver County Jail’s roster of inmates, despite the fact that the police have made his booking photo available. There is presently a dearth of other information regarding the case. A local law enforcement official proposed that the judge supervising the prosecution seal the case. An email from a Denver District Attorney’s Office representative informed Law&Crime, “My office is required to respond that ‘no such records exist’ when a case has been sealed in Colorado and a request is made for the records.”
