Stephan Nall, 39, was shot dead at his home in the 15000 block of Del Monte Farms Road in Castroville, California, on January 24, 2019. Deputies from the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of multiple gunshots at about 8:15 p.m.; Stephan was treated but died at the scene.

Authorities say the victim’s younger brother, 27-year-old Mark Edward Nall, retrieved a handgun from his vehicle and shot Stephan seven times. Stephan was unarmed and reportedly holding a beer can. Mark was arrested at the scene and charged with murder; he was held at the Monterey County Jail with bail set at $1 million. Prosecutors contested Mark’s claim of self-defense, arguing Stephan did not pose an immediate threat.

The investigation and court process revealed longstanding tensions between the brothers and brought emotional testimony about the family’s loss. Did anyone in Castroville or the Monterey County area have contact with the Nall family around that time or information about the dispute that led to this shooting?
