Brother of suspect in quadruple homicide in Aurora arrested and charged with accessory after the fact

The lookup for a suspect thought of “armed and risky” is even now ongoing following Aurora law enforcement say Joseph Castorena, 21, shot and killed 4 persons earlier this 7 days. Friday night, law enforcement arrested his brother in link with his alleged escape.

Juan Angel Castorena, 18, was arrested near West Belleview Avenue and South Federal Boulevard in Denver, Aurora law enforcement stated. He is been billed with accent to initially-degree murder following the simple fact. Police will not imagine he was concerned in the capturing itself.

According to Colorado state regulation, a man or woman is an accent to criminal offense if, “with intent to hinder, delay, or avert the discovery, detection, apprehension, prosecution, conviction, or punishment of a further for the commission of a crime, he renders aid to this sort of person.” The criminal offense is a felony in Colorado, whilst the severity of the criminal offense is dependent on what Juan Angel Castorena understood of the allegations in opposition to his older brother when he allegedly served him.

Previously this week, the Aurora Award Fund declared it would give $5,000, in addition to Metro Denver Criminal offense Stoppers’ $10,000 reward for details that leads to the arrest of Joseph Castorena, bringing the overall probable reward income to $15,000.

That information arrived the same day the coroner’s workplace launched the victims’ names. They are Kenneth Eugene Green Luque, 21 Rudolfo Salgado Perez, 59 Jesus Serrano, 51 and Maria Anita Serrano, 22.

Joseph Castorena is accused of shooting and killing them at a house in the 900 block of Geneva Avenue on the morning of Oct. 30.

He’s even now on the loose and is 5’4″ and trim, with a lion tattoo on the remaining facet of his neck, law enforcement say.
