Murder Linked to Family Feud | Albany News

Albany police charge 44-year-old Vance Mims with murder in the July 5th shooting death of 39-year-old Iris Vasquez, who was killed while sitting in her car near Washington Avenue — a tragedy rooted in a deadly family feud that erupted after Mims’ son was killed just days earlier, July 4th, 2025, with a suspect in that killing linked to Vasquez’s family. Authorities warn of a dangerous cycle of retaliation and urge communities to seek non-violent solutions to prevent further bloodshed.
