From GoFundMe:
“My heart is broken. This is Carlos Castillo Molina. He lived and worked in DC and commuted to his various jobs by scooter. Last night was going to be his last scooter ride. Carlos had finally bought a car and he was on his way to pick up the key from the seller. Excited for him, Carlos’s 16 year old brother shared a scooter with them with both looking forward to surprising their mother and bringing home the family’s first car. Then a hit and run driver hit them from behind. The driver abandoned his car and fleed on foot. The DC police are trying to find him. Carlos likely never knew what hit him as he was declared dead at the scene. His brother has been hospitalized with life threatening and possibly head injuries.
I have represented Carlos and his family since 2016 when he was 17. In 2023 I helped them win a grant of asylum. Carlos’ green card application was pending and just awaiting an interview. He had very difficult childhood and traumatic life in El Salvador. (more…)
