During the previous week in Mesa, Arizona, several criminal incidents were investigated by local law enforcement. On November 17, Mesa Police took 29-year-old Robert Castillo into custody in connection with a fatal stabbing that took place near the Dobson Ranch area on September 29. According to Fox 10 Phoenix, the initial incident involved a man found with stab wounds who later died from his injuries. Castillo was arrested almost two months after the incident and now faces homicide charges. Authorities confirmed that the case remains active, though an arrest has been made.
In an ongoing initiative to bring justice to unresolved cases, ABC15’s Arizona Crime Uncovered reports that Mesa Police continue to investigate the disappearance and death of Emily Pike, a San Carlos Apache teen originally reported missing from a Mesa group home last year. There have been no arrests, and the case remains under investigation as detectives pursue leads. The community is encouraged to come forward with any information that could assist in resolving this case.
Mesa Police responded last week to a series of vehicle burglaries reported in the vicinity of Stapley Drive and Southern Avenue. Police state that several vehicles were unlawfully entered during overnight hours, with property such as electronics and personal items taken. These incidents are being investigated as alleged burglaries, and no suspects have been publicly identified.
On Thursday evening, officers were dispatched for reports of a suspected armed robbery near the Fiesta District. Witnesses stated a male suspect displayed a firearm and demanded cash from a convenience store clerk before fleeing toward Alma School Road. Mesa Police are seeking public assistance, describing the suspect as a Hispanic male, approximately 6 feet tall, medium build, wearing a dark hoodie and jeans at the time of the incident. Detectives request anyone with surveillance footage or information to contact the department.
In the area of University Drive and Power Road, patrol units responded to reports of an alleged aggravated assault during the early morning hours of November 14. Witnesses reported that a verbal altercation escalated and resulted in one individual sustaining non-life-threatening injuries from a blunt object. The incident remains under investigation.
Several incidents of alleged catalytic converter thefts were reported across neighborhoods near Broadway Road throughout the past week. Police indicate these thefts occurred during the late night and early morning hours, primarily targeting parked vehicles in residential areas. The active investigation includes reviews of neighborhood surveillance footage, and no arrests have been announced.
No significant activity involving homicides or shootings was reported within the last week beyond the ongoing investigation of the September fatal stabbing.
