Eduardo Eddie Boy Castro, 59, was shot to death while riding a bicycle in Boyle Heights on the afternoon of May 17, 2019. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead at 2:28 p.m.; the coroner listed multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death.

Castro was a long-time member of the Mexican Mafia who grew up in the Varrio Nuevo Estrada gang in the Estrada Courts housing project alongside his older brother Ernesto.

In early June 2024 an arrest was made when Vincent Spanky Armendariz, 60, was taken into custody and charged with Castro’s murder; he did not enter a plea at his first court appearance and the case is moving through the courts. Did anyone who knew Castro or who was in Boyle Heights that day see the pickup truck or the shooting?
