Gloria Rivas Castillo, 45, was killed in her East Salem home on the evening of March 3, 2022. Deputies from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call placed about 7:40 p.m. by a man who admitted to shooting someone and found Rivas Castillo with critical injuries; she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified and arrested her 34-year-old boyfriend, Cruz Hernandez-Rivera, who made the call and was taken into custody at the residence. He was booked into the Marion County Jail and charged with second-degree murder and three counts of unlawful use of a weapon. Authorities said the weapon charges allege intent to use a firearm against two people and an attempt to use it against a third; no one else was injured. The family asked for privacy as they mourned.

Are there readers who knew Gloria or who have information about what happened that night?
