Diana Maria Castro, 35, was shot and killed on October 22, 2015, in Hialeah Gardens, Florida. She was found with multiple gunshot wounds outside her car in the 8100 block of Northwest 99th Terrace late at night and was pronounced dead at the scene after Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded.

Her ex-husband, 38-year-old Josue David Castro, was identified as the shooter. He had been waiting outside her home and shot her multiple times as she arrived. Their two daughters, ages 4 and 9, were in the car during the attack but were not physically harmed. The shooting was classified as a domestic-related, premeditated homicide; Josue surrendered to police at the Miami-Dade Police Department’s Midwest District and was charged with first-degree murder and booked into the Miami-Dade jail without bond. The Department of Family and Children Services was notified to address the children’s needs.

The community was left mourning a mother whose life ended in a domestic killing. If anyone knew Diana, her routine that night, or has information about what led to the shooting, please come forward.
