The police department's community video surveillance system captured the crime occurring at around 8:30 p.m. Investigators used video surveillance and witness statements to identify Castillo and Hawkins as suspects. The video shows Castillo approaching the victim and throwing a liquid from a cup onto his body. She and the victim appeared to argue before Castillo sparked a lighter and lit the victim on fire. Further investigation revealed that Hawkins provided the accelerant to Castillo.
