Bradenton Double Homicide, Suicide Suspect Identified

BRADENTON, FL — As Manatee County Sheriff’s detectives continue to investigate the deaths of three people found on Monday, they have released the names of those involved.

The sheriff’s office said it received a call around 2 p.m. from a person who said he had found the bodies of a woman and child in front of his home. When detectives arrived to the address in the 2000 block of 38th Avenue West, however, they did not find the bodies outside. Instead, they found three people dead inside the home.

Detectives are classifying the case as a double homicide/suicide. The two victims, authorities say, are Odalys Martinez-Castiles, 50, and Zakyel Hernandez, 12.

Galo Felix Caballero Rivero, 49, has been identified as the suspect in the homicides. Authorities believe he committed suicide after killing the woman and child. No motive has been indicated. The sheriff's office has also not released how the three died.

No further information is being released at this time.
