It details state charges filed May 18 by Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty and the underlying January 14, 2026 shooting incident during Operation Metro Surge in north Minneapolis. Castro, arrested May 29 in Cameron County, Texas, faces four felony assault counts and one misdemeanor for false reporting; Governor Walz's extradition request has not been honored after nearly three months. The broadcast draws from official statements, court findings of probable cause, and references to video evidence that led to dismissal of related federal charges.
