John C. Mitchell, 22, was shot to death on March 29, 2007, inside the Bowling Green, Ohio, home of his girlfriend Alicia Castillon, who was also killed that night. Alicia’s 10-year-old daughter placed a 911 call saying her stepfather had shot her mother and her mother’s boyfriend; four children were in the house and were not physically harmed.

Police identified Craig R. Daniels, Jr., Alicia’s ex-boyfriend, as the suspect. Daniels had a prior history of domestic violence against Alicia, including multiple arrests and convictions. He was located and arrested at his mother’s house in Louisville, Ohio, and charged with two counts of aggravated murder. Prosecutors said he was released on his own recognizance before the killings despite his violent history; Alicia had repeatedly reported fearing for her life and the safety of her children.

Daniels later pleaded guilty and received life without parole. The killings prompted calls for better protections for domestic violence victims and stricter handling of bail and restraining orders. Does anyone have information about John Mitchell, Alicia Castillon, or the circumstances that night?
