The man convicted of killing Chicago police officer Andres Vasquez Lasso will soon learn his sentencing date. 

Steven Montano will be back in court at 9 a.m. for a post-trial hearing, when his sentencing date will be set.

In July, a jury found Montano guilty of killing Chicago police Officer Andrés Mauricio Vásquez Lasso in 2023.

Montano, now 21, was found guilty of first-degree murder and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. Jurors also found that Montano caused the death of a peace officer while performing his duties — a charge that can carry a life sentence.

Officer Lasso killed in line of duty 

On March 1, 2023, fallen officer Lasso responded to a domestic violence call in the Gage Park neighborhood.

Linda Pirea, 37, called 911, according to prosecutors, because she believed her boyfriend [Montano], who was 18 at the time, was chasing her with a gun.  

Using body-worn camera video, surveillance cameras, and witness testimony, the state showed Montano running from police until he and Officer Vasquez Lasso got to a school playground, where prosecutors say Montano shot and killed him
