Fanuel Arita was a 17-year-old Honduran male who was shot and killed on September 24, 2014, in San Antonio, Texas. The killing occurred late at night; family members said he was called outside moments before the shooting, which they interpreted as evidence the attack was planned. Investigators described the shooting as linked to a feud between two teenagers and treated it as a targeted attack.

Authorities charged 18-year-old Jose Castellanos-Aguilera with murder, and the case proceeded through multiple court appearances as prosecutors sought to prove the killing was intentional and premeditated while the defense challenged the evidence. Fanuel’s family held a vigil and mourned a young man who had hoped to return to Honduras to build a home for his mother.

Does anyone have information about the feud or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
