On the evening of October 20, 2017, 43-year-old Carlos Castro was at a Kroger on Indianapolis’ south side when he was accosted by a stranger who demanded his cellphone. Witnesses described the two men fighting and one being thrown into a display before the fatal shots. Castro sustained stab wounds and two gunshot wounds and died of injuries from the attack.

The attacker was later identified as Jason Neal Cooper. He fled the scene, carjacked a vehicle and led police on a high-speed chase before being taken into custody. Cooper was charged with murder, robbery and resisting law enforcement; reports describe a history of prior offenses and that he was under the influence of methamphetamine during the incident. Castro was a father of three and a longtime employee of the Indianapolis Housing Agency.

Was anyone in the store that night able to see more of the struggle or the moments before the assault?
