Castro, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) agent was criminally charged in Hennepin County in Minneapolis, Minnesota for assault (shooting a suspected Venezuelan immigrant) and then filing a false crime report against Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, who was shot in the thigh by Castro on January 14, 2026.

A $200,000 cash bail was set for Castro. Castro will now face the process of extradition to Minnesota, in order to face criminal charges.

The Hennepin County District Attorney's Office issued a felony warrant for the arrest of Castro.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - In June 10, 2025, a three penal judge for the Wisconsin Court of Appeals in District 1, Chief Judge Maxine A. White, Presiding Judge M. Joseph Donald and Judge Pedro  Colón ruled that the Estate of Luis Lorenzo by Special Administrator Wanda Rodriguez (Plaintiff-Appellant) in the Luis Lorenzo wrongful death civil lawsuit case filed against (lntervenor-Defendant-Respondent) Kinsale Insurance Company, El Rey Enterprises LLP, El Rey Enterprises II LLC, Marshall Public Safety (MPS), LLC, and Enoch Wilson failed to establish that El Rey or one of their employees were negligent in causing the death of Lorenzo in July 9, 2022 and El Rey Enterprises were not viscariously liable for Lorenzo's injuries and death. The case was dismissed by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, which also led to the dismissal of the multiple Milwaukee County civil lawsuit cases claiming wrongful death by the Estate of Luis Lorenzo against Marshall Public Safety, LLC and its owner Enoch Wilson.

Wilson, the owner and operator of Marshall Public Safety, LLC is a El Rey's independent cobtractor. The three judge Appeals Court panel agreed "that the Estate's claim for negligent supervision fails on multiple grounds. MPS was El Rey's independent contractor, not its employee, servant or agent within the negligent supervision analysis. Id. at 265. Further, assuming without deciding that employment status was not controlling, the Estate has not shown that El Rey's negligence was the cause-in-fact of Lorenzo's injuries and death. See id. at 262. Therefore, it has not raised a genuine issue of material fact with regard to causation that would preclude summary judgment. Petzel, 320 Wis. 2d 621, ¶5."
