ICE Officer to Appear in Federal Court for Alleged False Statement in Nonfatal Minneapolis Shooting
Christian Castro is scheduled to appear Friday in U.S. District Court in St. Paul over an alleged false statement about a January Minneapolis shooting.
Prosecutors allege Castro shot 24-year-old Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in the leg through a Minneapolis home’s front door.
Prosecutors say Castro falsely told investigators that Sosa-Celis attacked him with a broom handle and snow shovel before the shooting.
Castro’s federal hearing follows a state-court appearance on assault charges, after which he was released from custody.
