On the late evening of February 12, 2026, 22-year-old Anthony Josue Castro was found inside a vehicle on the 1200 block of Picadilly Street in Norfolk after officers responded to a report of a man who had been shot. He was transported to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries. The incident is being investigated as a homicide; detectives have not released information about a possible motive or identified any persons of interest.

Castro was born in Orlando, Florida, and remembered by family as a devoted son, father, brother, and partner. A Portsmouth Christian Academy graduate, he earned a football scholarship to Chowan University. Authorities have asked anyone with information to contact the Norfolk Crime Line as the investigation continues.

Does anyone in the Norfolk area have information about that neighborhood or the night of February 12 that could help investigators?
