Rogelio Castro, 51, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of January 23, 2018, at the Gables Trailer Park, 825 SW 44 Avenue in Miami. Miami-Dade Police say a verbal dispute between Castro and an unidentified person escalated into a physical confrontation, during which the assailant produced a firearm and shot Castro. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responders arrived shortly after; Castro was pronounced dead at the scene.

No arrests or suspects were identified immediately after the killing. The Miami-Dade Police Department opened a homicide investigation and sought the public’s help; Detective Robin Pinkard publicly urged community cooperation. A probate matter for Castro’s estate, filed as IN RE: CASTRO, ROGELIO OQUELY, was recorded about a year later and concerns estate administration rather than the criminal case.
