Authorities arrested five individuals in Southern California during an investigation into cargo theft and a shooting incident involving a BNSF train. Among them was 21-year-old Angel Castro, who is accused of firing a gun at a railway officer during a confrontation on Monday near Cajon Boulevard and Keenbrook Road in Devore. Castro is facing attempted murder, cargo theft, and conspiracy charges.
Four other suspects, Miguel Humberto Grajeda Carrizos, Jesus Jose Grajeda, Cesar Geovanny Grajeda Medina, and Jorge Sarmiento Ochoa, also remain in custody and are accused of cargo theft and possessing burglary tools.
