A December 2016 confrontation in a Greenwood neighborhood ended with 21-year-old Karin Castro of Indianapolis shot multiple times and killed in the front yard of a North Meridian Street home. Castro had arrived at the house with three companions: 28-year-old Roberto Wangeman, 24-year-old Tania Chaves, and a 17-year-old male. The home’s occupants were brothers Felipe Zaragoza, 20, and Jose Zaragoza, 24. An argument escalated into an exchange of gunfire; shots were reportedly fired by multiple participants. The 17-year-old companion was wounded in the chest and taken to hospital, while Felipe Zaragoza suffered a leg wound and was treated and released.

Greenwood police responded; Chaves was arrested at the scene on a charge of auto theft. Authorities did not publicly release an official motive, though nearby workers speculated the dispute may have involved drugs. If anyone knew Karin or saw what happened that morning, please share information that could help clarify who was responsible.
