Guard Shot in Robbery He Was Meant to Prevent

A botched robbery turned deadly when a guard hired to protect a store after a prior heist was killed during a second attack—just weeks later. The suspect, Cesar Vasquez, claimed the shooting was accidental, but the victim’s sister slammed his lies, revealing he’d robbed the store before and that Rodriguez was there to stop him. Vasquez, 27, got life without parole plus four years after prosecutors exposed his cowardly crime and escape. Surveillance caught him fleeing, and a witness credited Rodriguez with saving her life—calling him a hero while condemning Vasquez’s selfish motives.
