On Dec. 29, 2020, Monsivais and several others were driving through a neighborhood slowly “with the intent of burglarizing vehicles,” the district attorney’s office said.
Castillo questioned the group about their intentions when Monsivais exited the vehicle and fatally shot Castillo in his front yard, according to the district attorney’s office.
Castillo was found lying at the end of the driveway at his home on Brentcove in the gated Finesilver Ranch subdivision, near Loop 1604 and Braun Road.
Monsivais was 18 years old when he was indicted by a Bexar County grand jury in March 2021.
