According to a witness, two gunmen wearing masks walked past the victim’s car before one turned and pointed a handgun toward him, telling him to get his hands up after which shots were fired.
Officers arrived to find Castillo inside his vehicle, unresponsive. He was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he died.
