A 23-year-old man convicted of killing four people in a 2022 domestic violence shooting in Aurora was sentenced to four life sentences in the Colorado Department of Corrections on Tuesday.
Joseph Mario Castorena was found guilty of four counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree attempted murder by an Arapahoe County jury in May for breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s house in the early hours of Oct. 30, 2022, and killing her family when they arrived home.
Castorena was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences plus 24 years in prison for the deaths of Jesus Serrano, 51; Maria Anita Serrano, 22; Kenneth Eugene Green Luque, 20; and Rudolfo Salgado Perez, 49.
Maria Serrano was the woman’s sister, according to previous reporting. Jesus Serrano was Maria’s father and Kenneth Luque was Maria’s husband. Salgado Perez was renting an RV on the property and was killed when he came outside during the shooting.
