Authorities ask the public for help finding the suspects responsible for the murder of 31-year-old Julian Castro.

On June 6, Castro was killed in his home by four suspects in the 6500 block of Thornwall Street.

Investigators said a resident of the home was approached by the suspects, who were wearing face coverings, outside of the house on Thornwall Street and forced him inside.

The resident told officers that the suspects ransacked the house before shooting Castro, who was lying in his bed.



Castro was taken to the hospital by paramedics, where he was pronounced dead.

Police describe the four suspects as young Black men who took off in a dark gray or black Toyota Prius hatchback with dark rims and at least one pink seat cover.
