A murder suspect captured in Mexico a decade after he was charged. A multi-state manhunt that ended in the apprehension of a man wanted for setting a house fire to conceal his roommate’s homicide. Those are just some of the cases that will be cited as dozens of police officers are honored during an awards ceremony held by the Cicero Police Department. It takes place at 11 a.m. Friday at the Cicero Community Center, 4936 West 23rd St. President Larry Dominick and Police Supt. Thomas Boyle will present department commendations, merit awards, unit citations, as well as officer and detective of the year, among other honors. A total of 71 officers will receive awards, along with 15 non-sworn support personnel, who were involved in 33 separate police incidents of note in 2025. That includes the May arrest of Victor Martinez, who fled to Mexico after being wanted for the 2016 murder of 22-year-old Julio Servin. A December arrest in New Mexico of Naman Vazquez, wanted for the arson of his residence that concealed the homicide death of his roommate, Jesus Nunez, is another high-profile case for which officers will be recognized.
