Daniel Alberto Castillo was 19 when he was shot to death on June 29, 2018, in the Westlake area of Los Angeles. Coroner’s records list the cause as gunshot wounds; reports say he was struck multiple times, described by investigators as a targeted attack. The shooting devastated Castillo’s family and friends, who remembered him as a young man with potential and unfulfilled plans.

The LAPD opened an investigation, canvassing the neighborhood, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing surveillance footage. Detectives named several persons of interest in the months afterward, but no arrests were made and the case remained open. Investigators reported difficulty obtaining cooperation from potential witnesses, which hindered progress.

Anyone who knew Castillo, was in Westlake on June 29, 2018, or has information that could help the investigation is asked to contact the LAPD.
