But while his dad’s stabbing was a clear-cut case of murder for Norton Castillo, Police are still investigating whether the person who inflicted the fatal wounds did so in self defense.

“Norman Castillo was at his residence socializing with a group of friends when an argument ensued and he was stabbed by one of these persons in that group. We know that he was rushed to the community clinic and he succumbed a few minutes later to his injuries. At the conclusion of that investigation, we will know exactly which direction we will take, whether or not it is murder or manslaughter.”
