Jose Castaneda
On May 13, 2014, at around7:45pm, one suspect, later identified as Jose Castaneda, L/m/06-04-90, entered a Family Dollar store in the 4400 block of W. Illinois avenue. Castaneda walked around the cashier’s counter, displayed what appeared to be a black semi-automatic pistol and demanded the clerk give him all of the money from the register. The clerk gave Castaneda the cash in the register (approximately $190) and Castaneda fled the location on foot. A witness in the parking lot of the Family Dollar yelled that Castaneda had just robbed the store, which drew the attention of another witness. This other witness recognized Castaneda from a previous incident at this location and followed him. The witness saw Castaneda get into the passenger side of a car waiting a block away in a nearby neighborhood.
The witness then called in the license plate information to 911. Officers received the information and soon found the car. After performing a felony traffic stop, they took Castaneda and the driver, later identified as Aldair Zozaya, L/m/10-13-89, into custody. Robbery detectives questioned Castaneda and Zozaya at headquarters.
