Man arrested in shovel beating death

Authorities on Tuesday arrested Gabriel Reyes Castillo and charged him with killing a man by repeatedly beating him in the head and face with a shovel.

Castillo, 33, was arrested without incident by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force at an East Side residence around 4 p.m., according to a news release from the San Antonio Police Department. He faced one charge of murder, according to police.

Police have been searching for Castillo, who was considered armed and dangerous, since identifying him as the suspect in the slaying of Jesse Ramirez, 33, on Thursday.

Ramirez was at a woman's apartment when Castillo allegedly showed up and kicked in the door, demanding that she leave with him.

Ramirez tried to protect the woman by punching Castillo in the face, according to a police report. Castillo left and returned with a shovel and used it to beat Ramirez to death, police said.
