Testimony in the murder trial of the man accused of fatally shooting a Donna High School student in 2020 continued on Wednesday.

Carlos Contreras, 23, is charged in the death of 18-year-old Genaro Isaiah “Izzy” Castillo. He died on Jan. 12, 2020 and his body was found near Donna Lake by a field worker.

During the third day of Contreras' trial, a forensic pathologist testified that Castillo had received seven gunshot wounds to the head, chest, and arms. The shots to the head and chest could’ve been what caused Castillo’s death, the pathologist said.

Evidence that came from cell phones, and how they were handled by investigators, was the focus of the testimony.
