On the afternoon of June 4, 2023, 20-year-old Jordin Miranda Castillo was shot and killed inside her third-floor Glendale, Arizona, apartment. Castillo was at home with several friends and her two-year-old daughter when the father of her child, 22-year-old Rueben Xavier Rocha, approached the unit. Castillo had obtained an order of protection against Rocha in April 2023 and there was a history of domestic violence between them.

Castillo called 911 to report his presence and the protective order. Within seconds, Rocha fired a handgun through the door, striking Castillo and two female friends, ages 19 and 20. Another woman hid Castillo’s daughter in a bathroom; a male friend was not injured. Castillo was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead; the two friends survived and were reported in stable condition.

About 24 hours after the shooting, Rocha turned himself in to the Glendale Police Department and faces charges of murder, burglary, and aggravated assault. Does anyone have information about the moments before Rocha arrived or about the protective order’s enforcement?
