On July 9, 2023, in Amarillo, Texas, 38-year-old Isidra Clara Castillo was fatally shot during a police-involved traffic stop near Northeast 9th Avenue and Grand Street. Officers stopped a vehicle after a license plate did not match the car. The driver was removed for further investigation while officers engaged with the backseat passenger, identified as 32-year-old Andrew Scott Norton. Norton allegedly exited the vehicle and pointed a firearm at officers; officers discharged their weapons, killing Norton at the scene. Castillo, who was seated in the front passenger seat, was struck by the gunfire and later died at a local hospital.

The Amarillo Police Department Homicide Unit investigated the shooting. In September 2023 a Potter County grand jury reviewed body camera footage and other evidence and issued a no-bill, finding the officers’ actions justified. Castillo, born October 18, 1984, is remembered by family as generous and devoted to her children. Does anyone have information about Castillo’s last hours or knew her and can share details that might help preserve her memory?
