​Sheriff Grady Judd provided an update to the public today through a live video on Facebook concerning a fatal shooting on Fleming Street. According to the sheriff, the incident occurred around 10 a.m. Police were dispatched after reports of multiple gunshots and a man down.

When officers arrived, they discovered 32-year-old Alfredo "Freddy" Castello dead from his wounds in the front yard of a residence.

Witness accounts helped detectives piece together the events, identifying 38-year-old Clinton "CJ" Robinson Jr. as the suspect.
