A 32-year-old Fresno man was sentenced Thursday to life in prison for the 2022 robbery and murder of a man that was caught on surveillance video, prosecutors said.
The life sentence without the possibility of parole was handed down to Raymond Guido by Fresno County Superior Court Judge Jonathan Conklin, the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office said.
Guido was convicted of killing 40-year-old Luis Alberto Castillo about 6 p.m. Dec. 30, 2022, near the intersection of Jackson and Turner avenues in central Fresno, according to prosecutors.
Castillo was a Mexican national who came to the states to work and send money back to his family, prosecutors said. He lived with his sister for less than three months before he was killed.
Police said they believed the slaying was related to a robbery, and found Castillo’s wallet near Guido’s home.
Police testified home surveillance video and Ring security cameras helped piece together the moments before, during and after the shooting.
Detectives saw on neighbors’ home video two males, one with dark-colored clothing and the other with light-colored clothing, walking on Barton Avenue near Thomas Avenue, police said. They also saw a muzzle flash from a single gunshot fired by the person in the dark-colored clothing.
