Tonight, Patrick Castillo is in police custody pending charges. Police arrested him on the scene last night where he reportedly gave a confession that he did it. But, police would not discuss that today - or anything much else other than to say the two men were fighting and the deceased had been drinking:..
Supt. Hilberto Romero, O.C., CIB, Eastern Division
"Our investigation revealed that he has a dispute with his stepfather Patrick Castillo Sr. As a result at some point somebody pulled a machete that resulted in Jose Maderos being chopped several times to the body. There was a fight and a lot of blood was on the scene and we are looking at all of that. At some point there was some fight between both of them."
Mike Rudon, Ch5
"Is Mr. Castillo pleading self-defense at this time?"
Supt. Hilberto Romero, O.C., CIB, Eastern Division
"I will not reveal that. At the end of the day, whatever consultation we need to do with this case, that will be done and we will make a determination at the end of this investigation."

"Can you tell us of alcohol was involved?"
Supt. Hilberto Romero, O.C., CIB, Eastern Division
"The information we have is that one of the person had been drinking previously."
Police say Castillo will remain in custody this weekend pending charges.
