Gerrardo De Los Santos, a 23-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on November 23, 2015, in Houston. The shooting happened about 8:45 p.m. as he was walking back to his apartment at 5959 Bissonnet. Witness accounts say a 21-year-old Hispanic man, Arnold Castillo, approached and attempted to start a fight; during the altercation Castillo produced a handgun and fired, striking De Los Santos. De Los Santos was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Houston Police Homicide detectives identified Arnold Castillo as the suspect and charged him with murder in the 339th State District Court. Investigators described the shooting as a targeted attack rather than a random act, though the motive was reported as unclear. Castillo was being sought as armed and dangerous, and police asked anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact HPD Homicide or Crime Stoppers.

Friends and family remembered De Los Santos as kind and hardworking. Does anyone who knew Gerrardo or who might have seen the area that night have information to help the investigation?
