Javier Castro, 23, was shot to death while seated in his 2000 GMC Yukon at the intersection of Elm Avenue and Elmwood Drive in Greenfield, California, on March 31, 2016, at about 10:20 a.m. He was found slumped over the steering wheel with a gunshot wound to the neck and visible blood on the front driver’s window and door. He was declared dead at the scene and identified by the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office the next day.

The Monterey County District Attorney’s Office led the investigation with assistance from the Greenfield Police Department. No arrests were made immediately, and authorities asked anyone with information to contact District Attorney Investigator Ben Draeger. The city was also dealing with a second homicide two days earlier, the March killing of 19-year-old Abigail Gasca Chavez, though officials said any connection between the cases had not been confirmed.

If anyone in Greenfield on March 31, 2016, saw Castro’s Yukon or has information about the shooting, please contact Investigator Ben Draeger.
