What APD Shared In Its Bulletin
In its "Wanted Wednesday" post, the Austin Police Department identifies Andru Jordan Castorena as 20 years old and lists two warrants, D1DC26302341 and D1DC26302342, both alleging aggravated robbery. The bulletin also repeats his approximate height and weight and notes that the circulating image of Castorena was taken on May 18. These details were posted on X by the Austin Police Department.
Where To Submit Tips And Reward Details
Capital Area Crime Stoppers currently shows Castorena as an active case and confirms the same warrant numbers and physical description. According to the nonprofit, tips can be submitted anonymously online, through the P3 Tips app, or by calling 512-472-8477. Information that leads to an arrest may qualify for a cash reward of up to $1,000, per Capital Area Crime Stoppers.
Why The Aggravated-Robbery Charge Matters
Under Texas law, aggravated robbery is a first-degree felony when the underlying robbery involves serious bodily injury, the use or exhibition of a deadly weapon, or certain protected victims. That first-degree label carries the potential for some of the harshest prison time and fines in the state. The elements of the offense are laid out in Texas Penal Code §29.03, according to Justia.
Safety Guidance For Residents
Authorities are stressing that residents should not try to confront or detain anyone who might match Castorena’s description and should call 9-1-1 immediately if there is an urgent safety concern. For those who want to share information without giving their names, officials are directing people to submit tips through Capital Area Crime Stoppers at 512-472-8477 or via the P3 Tips app; both the Austin Police Department and Capital Area Crime Stoppers have asked residents to pass along what they know rather than approach the suspect themselves.
