St. Thomas, USVI - District Court Judge Curtis V. Gomez on Monday sentenced Eilin Castillo,
37, of the Dominican Republic, to 14 months in prison and three years of supervised release for
Possession of a Firearm by an Illegal Alien, United States Attorney Ronald W. Sharpe announced.
On May 8, 2015, Castillo pleaded guilty to Possession of a Firearm by an Illegal Alien. Court
records show that in November 2014, Castillo, who is an illegal immigrant with no authority to be in
the United States or possess a firearm, possessed and discharged a firearm with an obliterated serial
number. Castillo discharged the firearm in a residential area on St. Thomas in connection with a
domestic dispute. After discharging the firearm, Castillo attempted to dispose of it, but law
enforcement agents recovered the firearm.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland
Security Investigations and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David White.
