Dolores Felipe-Pedro, 18, was killed on April 17, 2022, in West Palm Beach, Florida. Her boyfriend, Alex Castanon, first told police an unknown intruder had entered the home and shot her in the head. Investigators found that account contradicted surveillance footage showing no one entered the house before Castanon emerged holding Felipe-Pedro’s body.

Castanon later admitted the shooting occurred during a struggle between them over a gun hidden in the couch cushions. He was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Castanon ultimately accepted a plea, pleading guilty to manslaughter with a firearm and was sentenced to 20 years in state prison; during proceedings he expressed remorse and said he did not want to put the family through a trial.

The case underscores the dangers firearms can pose in domestic settings. Does anyone have information about Dolores, her life in West Palm Beach, or the days leading up to April 17, 2022?
