In the early morning hours of a Thursday in September 2014, a dispute that began inside a local bar in Pueblo, Colorado, tragically escalated, leaving one man dead. Ray Castro, a 49-year-old male, was found bleeding outside The Pixie Inn located in the 400 block of Santa Fe Avenue.
The events leading to his death began with a fight inside the establishment that spilled out into the street. It was there that Castro was shot in the chest.
Emergency services were called to the scene around 1 a.m. on September 11, 2014, but Castro succumbed to his injuries while en route to the hospital.
Law enforcement officials immediately began a homicide investigation into the shooting. Detectives were on the scene for several hours, and Santa Fe Avenue was temporarily closed to traffic. During their initial investigation, police interviewed several individuals who were believed to have been involved in the altercation. A vehicle that was seen leaving the scene was later located and seized by the authorities as part of their ongoing inquiry.
Despite the initial leads and the interviews conducted, public information available in the years following the incident did not include details of any arrests being made or the identification of any specific suspects in the death of Ray Castro. The case was noted by local crime watch resources, but further updates on the resolution of the investigation have not been made widely available.
