Overview
- Witnesses and an arrest affidavit say Hill stepped in to break up a fight that began inside a pickup that crashed into an SUV and that Vazquez retrieved a shotgun and fired one round that struck him.
- Deputies say Daryl Alexander Hill was taken to a hospital and later died, and investigators say Vazquez admitted during questioning that he fired the shot.
- The accused, Raul Lionel Vazquez, was arrested on a second-degree murder charge and a judge revoked his earlier bond and ordered him held without bond.
- Court records show Vazquez faced prior arrests including aggravated-assault and domestic-violence allegations and was out on bond in a separate aggravated-assault-with-a-deadly-weapon case at the time of the killing.
- Hill’s family and his child’s school community are mourning his death and prosecutors say they will pursue the case as the investigation and pretrial process move forward.
