The news release also provided more details about the chaotic scene of gunfire and a housefire in the typically quiet neighborhood near Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.
Castillo was involved with a struggle with an officer as the incident began at 1:22 p.m., police said. Officers had earlier received a report of unknown trouble at the house at 526 Lockland Ave.
When police Sgt. Robert Fenimore arrived at the house, he saw a person who appeared to be unconscious lying in the doorway of the home. That person was later identified as Castillo.
Fenimore called emergency medical technicians to treat Castillo, police said. Before the EMTs arrived, Fenimore removed a large knife from a hoister on Castilloâs belt. An empty handgun holster also was visible inside the waistline of Castilloâs jeans, police said.
