Wayne described seeing Castillo pick up a Glock 22 handgun off the ground after the shooting, with the intention of turning it into the police. Despite his noble intentions, Castillo was charged with illegal possession of a firearm, stemming from a previous felony conviction related to marijuana.

Despite facing scrutiny for his actions, Castillo’s friend defended him, stating that in the heat of the moment, he was only trying to assist and ensure the safety of those around him. The witness also mentioned that Castillo had no intention of using the gun for any malicious purposes.
Legal Ramifications
Castillo is currently being held on a $25,000 bond, with conditions that prohibit him from possessing firearms or ammunition, consuming alcohol, or using controlled substances without lawful prescription. He is scheduled for a bond review hearing in the coming days.
As the investigation unfolds, questions remain about Castillo’s involvement in the events that transpired at the Chiefs Super Bowl rally. With conflicting accounts and legal hurdles to navigate, Castillo’s fate hangs in the balance as the community seeks answers and justice for all those affected by the tragic shooting.
