Castro Faces Freedom in Texas | Austin News

A Texas judge has blocked Minnesota’s bid to extradite Christian Castro, a man accused of shooting and falsely reporting a crime in Minnesota. With no extradition by Thursday, Castro could walk free after 90 days under Texas law — despite Minnesota’s frantic efforts, including a restraining order request and appeals to the Texas governor. Accusations claim Castro fired through a door, wounded Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, then lied about being attacked with a broom and shovel. Complicating matters, the Texas governor refuses to cooperate, citing unrelated fraud investigations in Minnesota — leaving Castro’s future uncertain and Minnesota’s chances of bringing him to justice dwindling.
