On July 14, 2020, 15-year-old Jonathon Castillo, a Latin male, was fatally shot while sitting in the passenger seat of a friend's car at an apartment building on the 2700 block of North Buckner Blvd in Dallas, TX. Castillo was transported to a hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.
Following the incident, Dallas police identified two suspects: a 16-year-old and a 19-year-old. The 16-year-old was arrested and taken to Dallas police headquarters, where he waived his rights in front of a judge and allegedly admitted his involvement in Castillo's death. He was then taken to a juvenile detention center. The 19-year-old, Jacobrien Robertson, was injured during the shooting and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Once released from the hospital, Robertson was arrested and faced a murder charge.
The investigation revealed that the shooting occurred around 2:15 p.m., and the suspects were arrested shortly after. The case drew significant attention, and the community mourned the loss of Castillo, who was remembered fondly by his family and friends.
