Antonio Castro, a 72-year-old Hispanic man from Austin, Texas, died after being shot at the Citgo gas station at 1600 Ohlen Road in North Austin. The shooting occurred on August 9, 2022, when an unidentified suspect approached Castro and another man who were sitting side-by-side, pulled out a firearm, and opened fire. Both victims were taken to a local hospital; Castro died of his injuries about two weeks later.

The Austin Police Department has identified 18-year-old Hector Gabriel Valente-Martinez as a person of interest. He is described as a Hispanic male with a thin build and short hair. A reward of up to $1,000 has been offered for information leading to his arrest. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains active.

Did anyone see activity at the Citgo on August 9, 2022, or have information on Valente-Martinez’s whereabouts that could help investigators?
