Alonzo Dejesus Castro was 18 when he was shot and killed in San Diego, California, on February 11, 2008. The killing happened in a neighborhood described as struggling with gang-related violence during a year when San Diego saw elevated homicide rates.

Castro, a young man of Hispanic descent, was one of many victims reflecting broader patterns that year in which Hispanic males were disproportionately represented among homicide victims in California. Local law enforcement continued to investigate, but the case sits within a larger context of homicides that were difficult to solve because of witness reluctance, fear of retaliation, and gang influence.

Does anyone have information about Castro, the neighborhood, or events from February 11, 2008 that could help investigators?
