Police Did State That They were Seeking Castro’s
posted (August 11, 2017)
And a you heard that witness say, quote, "I just know one guy and it's the dread guy who is always in the news," and we're assuming he's referring there to one of the Castro brothers.

And that is substantiated by what former Police Press Officer Inspector Fitzroy Yearwood told the media. But Yearwood's statement was then rescinded by the police press office in an extraordinary disavowal. But, Fitzroy was telling the media just what San Pedro police told him. 7News has obtained a copy of the text sent by San Pedro police to the press office and other commanders. It says clearly: "Persons wanted: the Castro Brothers". We know one of the brothers was out at San Pedro, another had flown out that morning.

As that witness says though, he doesn't know that Castro did anything, he says, quote, "only him I know out of the crowd, but I don't know what he did or what not...." So basically he just recognized the face from TV.

Subsequent to police sending that text, they reviewed security video of the fight.
