“Upon arrival, authorities discovered Castillo, with the help of local neighbors, fled the residence and hid in the neighborhood,” the U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement. “After a brief search, authorities located and arrested him at approximately 6:15 p.m.”<\/p>\n
Castillo, who was added to the U.S. Marshals 15 Most Wanted fugitive list in October, was wanted for allegedly shooting and killing Perez following an early-morning fight outside a nightclub in Boston’s Theatre District.<\/p>\n
Perez, a former Army sniper who had served in Afghanistan, was studying at Bunker Hill Community College and wanted to be a Revere cop. He was shot in the back on Tremont Street just before 2 a.m. The fight that police say triggered the slaying was caught on video.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Castillo was indicted on first degree murder and weapons charges in June 2012 along with his two accomplices Luis Sepelveda, 30, and Janice Hardy, 24 who faced charges of lying to police detectives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
