Megan Ficklen was 21 and a mother of two boys when she was fatally shot on November 28, 2020, in San Leon, Texas. The shooting happened at the home of her boyfriend’s father; Megan was transported to a nearby hospital and later died of her injuries. Her boyfriend, 21-year-old Anthony Castellanos, fled the scene but was arrested later that day in Houston and charged with murder.

Megan is remembered by family and friends as kind-hearted, someone who cared for stray animals. A GoFundMe was organized to help with funeral expenses and support her two sons, raising roughly $4,500. The Galveston County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate to establish the precise circumstances of the shooting.

If anyone knew Megan, her movements that day, or has information about the incident, please come forward to assist the ongoing investigation.
