    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 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.

    Robinson allegedly approached the property’s fence, fired several shots, and walked away, leaving Castello on the ground. Witnesses also recalled hearing Robinson say, "How do you like me now?"

    Authorities confirmed that the two men had an argument earlier that day, though the details of the dispute remain under investigation.

    The live video can be viewed here.

    Killing someone is never a solution. But for someone to make such a statement means something happened prior to the killing. And we can't speculate until we know what that something was that sparked this outcome. But regardless, killing should have never been an option.
