In 2022, a man was given 4 life sentences for killing an Aurora family.

In a tragic turn of events, a 23-year-old man has been sentenced to four life sentences in the Colorado Department of Corrections for the murder of four individuals in a domestic violence shooting in Aurora. The sentence was handed down on Tuesday, marking the end of a long and emotional trial for all involved.

The incident, which occurred in 2022, sent shockwaves through the community and sparked discussions about crime and public safety. Two other shootings in the same neighborhood only added to the fear and uncertainty felt by residents. Some even wondered if a violent Venezuelan gang was taking over the area.

It all began when Joseph Mario Castorena broke into his ex-girlfriend's house in the early hours of October 30th. Armed and dangerous, he opened fire on her family as they returned home, ultimately taking four lives. After a thorough investigation, Castorena was found guilty by an Arapahoe County jury in May. He was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree attempted murder.

As the judge handed down the sentence, Castorena was given four consecutive life sentences plus an additional 24 years in prison. This was for the deaths of Jesus Serrano, Maria Anita Serrano, Kenneth Eugene Green Luque, and Rudolfo Salgado Perez. It was a small measure of justice for the loved ones left behind.

One of the victims, Maria Serrano, was the woman's sister. Jesus Serrano was Maria's father, while Kenneth Luque was her husband. In a heartbreaking twist, Rudolfo Salgado Perez, who was renting an RV on the property, was also killed when he came outside during the shooting. The loss of these four innocent lives has left a lasting impact on the community.

The trial and sentencing have brought closure to a painful chapter, but the memories of those who were lost will never be forgotten. It serves as a reminder to all of us to speak out against domestic violence and to do our part in creating a safer world for everyone. Let us honor the victims by standing up for what is right and working towards a future where tragedies like this never happen again.
