ASP Fitzroy Yearwood

Fifty-nine-year-old Kevin Castillo and a minor were injured during a shooting incident on Friday night when they came under gunfire from an assailant who alighted a vehicle and took aim at the pair. It is unclear what precipitated the attack on Castillo and an investigation into the case is ongoing. The details of this incident are sparse, but Assistant Superintendent Fitzroy Yearwood shared what little the police department has been able to gather.
