Alvaro Jesus Castillo-Ruiz, 29, was fatally shot at a residence in the 500 block of Oxford Drive in the Sherwood Shores area of Gordonville, Texas, on the night of July 26, 2026. Deputies with the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office and the Texas Rangers responded and opened a homicide investigation after finding Castillo-Ruiz with fatal gunshot wounds.

Investigators say a vehicle was seen leaving the scene; a deputy tried to stop it, the vehicle fled, and its occupants later abandoned the car and ran on foot. Those individuals were located and described as persons of interest, but officials believe there may be additional people connected to the shooting who have not yet been identified. No arrests or charges have been publicly announced, and no motive has been released.

The Sheriff’s Office has urged anyone with information to come forward and noted that immigration status is not being considered in the investigation. If anyone knew Alvaro Jesus Castillo-Ruiz or saw activity in the Sherwood Shores area on the night of July 26, can you help investigators by sharing what you know?
