Fresno, California — On Tuesday, April 4, 2023, shortly before 7:00 P.M., Fresno police received reports of a gunshot heard in the alley parallel to the 2600 Block of North Fresno Street. Multiple 9-1-1 callers said they heard the shot and screaming from a group of people in the alley. Investigators later learned that a family disturbance escalated, and one family member shot another. One of the family members told dispatch that her son had been shot by her son-in-law. When officers arrived, the scene was chaotic. Officers contacted the gunshot victim, whose face, neck, and chest were covered in blood. Officers were told the suspect, later identified as 42-year-old Richard Castrillo, was further down the alley, and he still had a gun in his possession. 
<p>As officers approached Castrillo, they saw him struggling on the ground with another male and a female standing next to them. The male was later identified as the gunshot victim’s father and the female was later identified as the gunshot victim’s sister. An officer told the male and female to “move out of the way” multiple times and they eventually complied. The officer told Castrillo to “drop the gun,” which he was holding in his right hand. Castrillo raised the gun and pointed it at the officers and other bystanders in the alley. The officer discharged his service weapon, striking Castrillo. Officers then approached Castrillo, removed the handgun, and rendered medical aid until paramedics arrived. Castrillo was transported to the hospital where he was listed in stable but critical condition. Castrillo is facing several felony charges including assault with a firearm and a felon possessing a firearm.
