Richard Young was 24 when he was shot in Beach, North Dakota, on the evening of June 6, 2016. A former U.S. Marine from Oregon who had settled in the small town near the Montana border, Young was struck in the head when a 1911 model .45-caliber pistol was discharged. He was flown to a Bismarck hospital but died of his injuries on June 10, 2016. He left behind a child.

Authorities say Young was with 22-year-old acquaintance Gabriel Alexander Castro on the night of the shooting. Investigators from the Golden Valley County Sheriff’s Office and the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation later arrested Castro and on June 24, 2016 charged him with Class AA felony murder. Court papers also accused him of altering the firearm and removing items that might have held fingerprints, and of giving false information to an officer. Castro was held on $500,000 bond at the Southwest Multi-County Correctional Center in Dickinson.

Few murders have occurred in Beach, and the case deeply affected the community. Does anyone have information about Richard Young, his movements in Beach, or the evening of June 6, 2016?
