Erenny Castro, a 30-year-old Hispanic man from Philadelphia, was killed in a shooting on Monday, January 26, 2015. The attack appears to have begun on the 2700 block of North 5th Street; police say two suspects in a newer-model orange Dodge fired on Castro and another man. Castro, a passenger who lived on the 200 block of Landis Street, was taken to Temple University Hospital and pronounced dead at 6:51 p.m.

The driver, described only in police information as a 31-year-old man, was shot in the back and survived long enough to be admitted to Temple in critical condition. Public information does not identify that man by name or indicate whether he later recovered. Investigators have not released a motive and have not named suspects publicly.

No arrests or charges have been reported in the available public material, and the case remains listed among Philadelphia Police unsolved murders. If anyone knew Erenny Castro, saw an orange Dodge in North Philadelphia that evening, or has information about who fired on the 2700 block of North 5th Street, please share what is known.
