Bryan Raul Castillo, 21, of El Paso, was an aspiring rapper known as GGRI$H and remembered by friends as kind and generous. On the evening of May 14, 2024, Castillo picked up at least two relatives at the Ysleta port of entry and told them he needed to stop to sell something. He drove to the Vista Village Apartments on Montwood Drive to sell disposable THC vape devices.

In the parking lot he met two males who arrived in a black four-door vehicle with front-end damage. Witnesses say the buyers initially tried to enter Castillo’s car but backed off when they saw his relatives inside. Castillo walked to the black car carrying a shoe box and was shot in the parking lot. Emergency crews took him to Del Sol Medical Center, where he died from his injuries. Investigators recovered five boxes of THC cartridges in Castillo’s vehicle.

Police identified a vehicle matching the scene from surveillance and, on May 17, 2024, arrested 17-year-old Aldo David Flores and charged him with murder. Flores was booked on a $500,000 bond and, as of the latest filings, is awaiting trial. Did anyone who knew Bryan or who was at Vista Village that night see or hear anything that could help the investigation?
