Chicago police Officer Andrés Mauricio Vásquez Lasso was shot and killed, March 1, 2023, responding to a domestic-related call on the Southwest Side, officials said.

Police were responding to a domestic-related call of a man with a gun in the 5200 block of South Spaulding Avenue around 4:45 p.m. and the suspect was chasing a woman down the street with a gun, Chicago police Superintendent David Brown said.
One of two pairs of responding officers “engaged” with the suspect, who ran away from the officers. That’s when police began pursuing the suspect, and shots were exchanged “at close range” between the suspect and the deceased officer, Brown said.
