In the early morning hours of October 30, 1986, a robbery attempt inside a Bronx apartment turned deadly. Angel Castro, a 35-year-old Hispanic man, was shot to death during an assault prosecutors said targeted cash and narcotics from men they described as cocaine dealers. Three other men—Hector Hernandez, Juan Rodriquez, and Jesus Perez—were also killed in the episode.

Authorities alleged the assailants moved through the building looking for a specific person who could lead them to drugs, and that the encounter became lethal when cooperation was not forthcoming. A Bronx grand jury indicted Larry Davis and Ricardo Burgos in connection with the killings and the attempted robbery; investigators also sought two additional men said to have been with them. Court filings and later reporting show the case became linked with other high-profile legal matters surrounding Davis and produced convictions on attempted robbery counts for Burgos in 1990.

If anyone has memories of that building, the people involved, or information about Angel Castro’s final hours, please share what is known.
