In the early hours of April 17, 2019, multiple gunshots were reported on the 2400 block of Cross Street in Little Rock. Officers arriving at about 1:18 a.m. found a white Chevrolet Suburban; inside was 32-year-old Jose Castro, deceased from multiple gunshot wounds. Two other men, Randy Canela and Arnaldo Marengo, were also shot and taken to a local hospital with injuries described as not life-threatening.

Marengo and Canela told investigators that the assailant shot Marengo first, then opened fire on Canela and Castro before fleeing in a dark blue Chevrolet Camaro. Homicide detectives processed the scene and impounded Castro’s vehicle; his body was sent to the State Crime Lab for autopsy. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, saw a dark blue Chevrolet Camaro in the area that morning, or has other information, please contact investigators.
