Jonathan Castillo, 22, was fatally shot on January 24, 2024, in the 800 block of Aeolia Drive in Antioch, Tennessee. Castillo had gone to the address to pick up his three-year-old child from the home of his ex-girlfriend when two masked men approached his parked vehicle in the early morning hours. One assailant displayed a handgun, ordered Castillo to raise his hands, and then gunfire erupted. Castillo was found critically injured in the car, taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and later pronounced dead.

Metro Nashville Police Department opened a homicide investigation; the motive remains unclear and the two masked suspects fled the scene. No arrests have been announced and a reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Castillo’s family continues to seek answers after this loss.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, the masked men leaving the area, or has information about this case, please contact investigators.
