Fatal Shooting in Central Oak Cliff
A 16-year-old was fatally shot Sunday in central Oak Cliff when one of the guns he and two others were passing around randomly fired, according to court records.
Jerry Castillo Saravia died at 10:06 p.m. in the 800 block of Ryan Road, according to the Dallas County medical examiner’s office.
Anderson Acabal-Nolasco, 20, was arrested the night of the shooting and faces a manslaughter charge, according to an arrest-warrant affidavit.
Officers responded to the shooting call at about 9:50 p.m. and found Castillo Saravia in the backyard of a home, shot in the chest, an officer said in the affidavit.
Investigation and Arrest
As officers spoke with witnesses and Acabal-Nolasco, officers said in the affidavit that they were initially told Castillo Saravia was shot by a random bullet that came from a nearby alley.
When the officers spoke with the witnesses alone, their statements changed.
One witness “indicated” that Acabal-Nolasco and Castillo Saravia both had handguns and were passing them back and forth. The gun Castillo Saravia had was not loaded, according to the affidavit.
Acabal-Nolasco was handling his handgun when it fired and hit Castillo Saravia in the chest, according to the affidavit. The witness said to officers that Acabal-Nolasco then hid both of the weapons in the alley and allegedly told the witnesses to say a random shot killed Castillo Saravia, according to the affidavit.
Interview and Confession
During an interview at the Dallas police headquarters, officers said in the affidavit that Acabal-Nolasco admitted he had been passed the gun by one of the witnesses. Acabal-Nolasco thought the gun’s safety was on when he pulled the trigger and was unaware of where it was pointed, according to the affidavit.
Acabal-Nolasco was standing about 10 to 15 feet away when he shot Castillo Saravia, court records said.
Acabal-Nolasco is being held at the Dallas County jail on a $150,000 bond.
