Anthony Vasquez, aged 52, was sentenced on March 4, 2024, to 50 years in prison for the stabbing death of 39-year-old David Salinas. The verdict came after a jury found Vasquez guilty on January 25, 2024. However, the sentencing was postponed pending a pre-sentencing investigation of the defendant.
The incident occurred just before 1:00 am on November 7, 2021, when the victim, David Salinas, arrived at a neighbor's home. Vasquez, another visitor in the residence, was already present. A dispute ensued between Vasquez and the victim, escalating from a shoving match to a physical altercation, which culminated in a fatal stabbing.
Despite being seriously wounded, Salinas managed to flee the scene but collapsed in the yard. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) later pronounced him dead.
