Deputy Castillo was
killed in an automobile accident on Southwest Loop 1604, between Nelson
and Pearsall roads, while
responding to an officer needs assistance call. His patrol car went out of
control on the rain-slicked road and struck a tree, causing his legs to be
pinned in the vehicle and trapping him inside. As rescue crews attempted
to free him from the patrol car it burst into flames. In an attempt to
save his co-workers, Deputy Castillo pushed them away from the fire.
He perished in the fire. Deputy Castillo, 31, was a native of
Victoria and had worked for the Sheriffs Office for eight years, with the
last four years in the patrol division. |
