A 25-year-old West Side man was found gunned down early Saturday morning, his body lying in Hertel Avenue, police said.
Luis Vazquez became the city’s 70th homicide of the year. The total for all of last year was 56.
Police said they found his body at 2:12 a.m., after being summoned to the 500 block of Hertel Avenue, near Military Road.
“The victim was in the eastbound traffic lane, and the victim’s vehicle, which was running, was in the westbound traffic lane,” Chief of Detectives Dennis Richards said.
Homicide investigators, led by Sgt. David Willis, were questioning several potential witnesses who reportedly were in the area at the time of the shooting.
But as of late Saturday, police said detectives had not determined a motive in the shooting.
“Is it road rage? A set up? Did someone intentionally cut him off? Was he passing through and got caught in the crossfire of something else? It’s too early to figure out a motive just yet,” Richards said.
Vazquez, of Hampshire Street, had no known criminal history, Richards said. Anyone having information about the shooting or Vazquez’s whereabouts Friday night or early Saturday morning should call the Buffalo Homicide Squad at 851-446 or the confidential police tip line at 847-2255.

That guy happened to be someone i knew. I met him a couple months ago at my buddies house. He was a cool guy, and never fucked with anyone. I used to see him almost everyday at the car wash on military near sheridan spic n spannin’ his red honda civic.
His son and my little girl were in the same classroom last year. Hard to beleive hes gone.
WTF is up with people nowadays.

RIP
