Have You Seen This Car? It's Possibly Tied to a Silicon Valley Murder

SOUTH BAY, CA -- Detectives investigating the 2014 shooting death of 20-year-old Ernesto Castro at Encinal Park in Sunnyvale park have received a tip on a possible suspect vehicle, police said March 8 and are now seeking information on a vehicle that was spotted in the area at the time of the crime.

Castro was shot in the neck around 2:30 a.m. on Aug. 2, 2014. A gold or tan Honda Accord or Civic with a visible sunroof and seven-spoked rims was seen in the area at the time of Castro's killing, police said.

Emergency crews responding to Encinal Park tried to save him before he died at the scene.

A woman was also shot during the incident, but was treated at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center for injuries that were not considered life-threatening. Police are investigating the shooting as gang-related.

In February, police offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for Castro's killing.

Anyone with information about the killing or the Honda has been asked to call Detective Hutchison at (408) 730-7174.
