According to a probable cause statement obtained by FOX31, Vigil told officers that someone in the house was making a sandwich and asked for hot sauce. When Vigil reportedly responded that the condiment was in an upstairs bedroom, a verbal dispute broke out and quickly escalated into a physical fight.

I can't tell if I'm just getting old and jaded, but the 20 year old murder nephew was living with extended family (the Uncle), and while living there he decided that the household hot sauce bottle was acceptable to take (and keep?) in his personal bedroom. This smells like a certainly level of entitlement on the part of the nephew. The nephew then killing the uncle in the uncle's own house says it even more.

I think there's a reason assumptions make an ass out of you

I think there’s a reason assumptions make an ass out of you

Sure, you could say that about any new story you read on the internet. I have no desire and am in no position to act on my assumptions here on this news story, so I think making assumptions like these are fairly benign.

I also think there's a good amount of evidence that the nephew here is the cause of his own downfall. The uncle isn't the first man that the nephew has stabbed to death:

"In the documents, with sources confirming, Denver police previously arrested Vigil on Sept. 3, 2021, for the death of Timothy Gama, 54."
