Neighbors heard gunshots and saw Castro flee. Police found David dead with multiple gunshot wounds, shell casings, and a handgun. Surveillance showed the two together before the shooting — no sign of a fight. Castro initially claimed he just wanted to show David how his gun worked, but later said they argued and he feared David would shoot him. When officers checked David’s body, he had no weapon. Castro admitted to grabbing the gun from inside the house and confirmed the details. He was booked into jail and declined to speak without legal counsel.
