A Tampa man is dead after being shot and killed by his son in an Inglis home.

Levy County deputies responded to 5530 SE 194th Lane around 11:00 Saturday morning.

After arriving, they found 61-year-old Manuel Castro lying on the living room floor.

Inglis Fire responded to the scene at the same time as deputies and began to administer first aid, but Castro Sr. did not survive.

Investigators arrived at the home and spoke with 22-year-old Matthew James Castro, Manuel's son.

Castro Jr. told investigators he was playing with a .22 rifle in the kitchen when he tried to take the clip out of the gun and it fired.

Jr. also told investigators his father had given him permission to play with the gun and had told him it was unloaded.

After reconstructing the crime scene, investigators realized Matthew's story didn't match the evidence.

LCSO contacted members of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office and found out Matthew had a violent history.

Multiple past incidents in Hillsborough County involved Castro Jr. destroying family property and violence against his father.

Investigators found out that both father and son lived in Tampa and came to Inglis for the weekend. Other family members living in the Tampa-area have been contacted by investigators.

Castro Jr. was arrested and is being charged with Second Degree Murder. He's at the Levy County Detention Facility with no bond.
