Seventeen-year-old David Xavier Castro of Houston was killed after an apparent road-rage shooting on July 6, 2021. David was returning home from a Houston Astros game with his father, Paul Castro, and his brother on Interstate 10 when another driver, identified as 35-year-old Gerald Wayne Williams, followed the family’s vehicle for several miles and then opened fire. David was struck in the head, taken to a hospital, and died of his injuries on July 7, 2021.

The case led to the arrest of Gerald Wayne Williams, who turned himself in to the Houston Police Department on August 2, 2021, and was charged with murder. Investigators cited witness testimony, tips from the community, and Williams’ cellphone records as important to the investigation; Williams was released on a $350,000 bond with an ankle monitor as conditions of release.

The family and community response was widely noted after the shooting. If anyone saw the incident on Interstate 10 on July 6, 2021, or has additional information that could help clarify what happened, please share what is known.
