UPDATE: 21-year-old Frida Castillo died.
LAREDO, TX – A violent standoff in the Cheyenne subdivision left multiple people critically wounded, including the alleged shooter, following an intense confrontation with law enforcement on Saturday afternoon.
The Laredo Police Department responded around 2 p.m. to reports of gunfire in the 3900 block of Bannock Lane, located off Bob Bullock Loop behind the City Hall Annex.
Upon arrival, officers heard shots being fired from a residence and immediately came under fire.
Police quickly took cover, alerted command staff, and established a perimeter while awaiting additional support.
Due to the severity of the situation, LPD’s SWAT team, crisis negotiators, and additional tactical units were deployed to the scene.
However, authorities stated that the suspect, a 27-year-old man, was actively shooting at officers, leaving no opportunity for negotiation.
Inside the residence, law enforcement determined that multiple individuals had been wounded.
Given the ongoing threat and the critical nature of the situation, SWAT officers made the decision to enter the home and confront the suspect.
Among the victims transported to Laredo Medical Center are 21-year-old Frida Castillo and 24-year-old Jorge Castillo, both listed in critical condition.
The suspect was also critically wounded, along with at least two other individuals who sustained gunshot injuries.
A large-scale investigation is now underway as authorities work to determine the motive behind the shooting and gather further details on the circumstances leading up to the incident.
Our thoughts remain with the victims and their families during this difficult time.
A community prayer chain has been requested for those injured.
Authorities urge residents to avoid speculation and allow investigators to conduct a thorough inquiry.

27-year-old Michael Arguy Hernandez Jr Fatally Stabbed Outside Brooklyn’s Barclays Center

Authorities are investigating a fatal stabbing that occurred near Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Friday night, leaving a 27-year-old man dead after being attacked by a group of individuals.
According to the New York Police Department (NYPD) and sources close to the investigation, the victim, identified as Michael Arguy Hernandez Jr., was walking near the intersection of Flatbush Avenue and Atlantic Avenue when he was ambushed by a group of four people.
During the attack, Hernandez sustained a stab wound to the chest and multiple stab wounds to his back around 9:00 p.m.
Despite his injuries, Hernandez managed to walk a short distance before collapsing at the corner of Flatbush Avenue and Atlantic Avenue, where responding emergency personnel found him.
He was transported to NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
A local resident, whose apartment overlooks the scene, reported hearing screams at the time of the attack but initially dismissed them, believing it to be teenagers making noise earlier in the evening.
Hernandez’s grieving family has since spoken out about their devastating loss, remembering him as a bright and compassionate young man who was deeply devoted to his family. His mother, in a heartfelt plea, described her son as someone with a passion for technology and video games, adding that “he loved his family above all else.”
The NYPD has confirmed that no arrests have been made, and the suspects remain at large.
Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward.
A fundraiser has been organized to assist with Hernandez’s funeral expenses, with his family expressing gratitude for any support as they navigate this unimaginable tragedy.
“Justice will be served for my son,” his mother declared. “Heaven has gained an angel.”
Anyone with information related to the case is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
