Still no arrests one week later in slaying of 18-year old El Paso woman

El Paso police on Friday officially confirmed the identity of an 18-year-old woman who was shot in the head and killed last weekend, but there was still no word of any arrests in the slaying.

ABC-7 had previously identified Santana Jazmine Marie Castro as the shooting victim based on a makeshift memorial in front of the central El Paso house where the deadly shooting occurred.

On Friday night, friends and family members gathered to hold a candlelight vigil in remembrance of Castro.

School records showed she had attended Austin High School until 2017.

Police said she was found shot in the head last Saturday by family members at the home in the 2500 block of Piedras, which residents described as an otherwise quiet neighborhood.

In addition to no arrests as yet, police have also not revealed any possible motive for the homicide.
