Detectives said they believe Castro and his roommate, Jamie Jones, 36, argued for some reason in their home in the 2200 block of Chestnut Avenue in the early morning hours of Feb. 14 and that led to Castro shooting Jones in the chest.
Police were called just past 2:30 a.m.; Jones died at a hospital.
Police did not disclose how Castro was identified as the suspect and located.
Detectives also arrested a 44-year-old woman on suspicion of helping Castro avoid arrest, police said.
