What happened is on the record in Minnesota. Authorities there accuse the 52-year-old Castro of firing through the front door of a house in January and shooting Sosa-Celis in the thigh. Before that, he and another officer allegedly chased a man named Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna to a duplex where he lived with Sosa-Celis. Afterward, the officer allegedly falsely accused Sosa-Celis and another man of attacking an ICE officer with a broom handle and a snow shovel. The broom and the shovel were the invention meant to turn the people who were shot at into the attackers. A household item is declared a weapon so the shooting can pass as self-defense. The fiction was supposed to carry what the act itself could not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Video footage blew the story apart. The camera saw what the report left out. After the footage suggested that the officers may have lied about the incident, federal prosecutors dropped the charges against the two men and opened an investigation. This week, a federal prosecutor involved in the case told lawyers for those affected that the Justice Department had blocked his attempt to bring a more serious civil rights charge against the officer, according to consistent reports. A person familiar with the case disputes that account: The civil rights investigation is continuing, and no final decision has been made on additional charges. Prosecutor Matthew Evans was fired on Thursday and is now suspected of obstructing a grand jury investigation; his official email account says he is on leave. The prosecutor becomes the accused in his own case. The man in the dock is the one who wanted to pursue the shooter, while the shooter is already out. That is how the roles are reversed, quietly and in full compliance with procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/batch_kaizennewsday5.webp?resize=640%2C354&ssl=1\")
