Jerry Castillo Saravia, 16, a Hispanic/Latino male, was fatally shot on the night of September 28, 2025, in the 800 block of Ryan Road in Dallas’ Central Oak Cliff neighborhood. Officers arrived about 9:50 p.m. and found the teen with a gunshot wound; he died at the scene.

Police say the shooting happened while a group was handling a firearm, and initial accounts described an accidental discharge during gunplay. Detectives identified 20-year-old Anderson Acabal-Nolasco as the person who fired the weapon; he was arrested the night of the shooting, booked into the Dallas County Jail, and charged with manslaughter. The arrest-warrant affidavit described the group as “playing with” or “handling” guns when the shot was fired, and Detective Guy Curtis was named as the point of contact for the case.

Family and friends memorialized Jerry with funeral home notices and obituary listings for services in the Dallas area. The investigation remains open even as the manslaughter charge proceeds.
