today I'm going to do something that I normally don't do as most of you know I typically make these heavily edited true crime videos that uh have all kind of crime scene stuff in them and all of that and today's video is a true crime video it's just going to be different you see I submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the Athens Police Department and I have gotten a whole bunch of body camera footage and what I'm going to do is I'm gonna throw up my intro right quick and then I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna briefly describe the situation leading up to the moment when he was confronted by law enforcement and then I'm just going to play the body cam footage after that from law enforcement's interaction with him that day also I have time stamped this video so if you don't care to hear me uh you know give you the advance leading up to the officer involved shooting then you can just skip past all of that and go straight to the body cam footage but the story took place in 2021 you know pretty recently when 38 year old won Joseph Danielle castigliano went on a two-day Rampage across Athens Georgia which led up to the officer-involved shooting that occurred right here at Walker Park in Athens you know if you like body cam footage and interrogations if you like to watch that kind of stuff then this is going to be your type of video for sure it's a very windy day here in Athens so I'm utilizing a microphone to combat that if the audio sounds a little bit different but anyway so the days in question were Saturday May 22nd and Sunday May 23rd 2021. it was a couple of hot summer days here and as you expect families were out enjoying those hot summer days on that Saturday May 22nd at approximately 5 20 p.m 9-1-1 calls started coming into law enforcement reporting that a man was walking through this apartment complex here pointing a gun at people and trying to start fights with them hey this is guy on Vine Street little walking around with a gun talking to Trey I'm just calling because he's walking around like he's going to shoot a lot of folks he don't find streets and apartments on the right foreign officer or no no I don't I'm headed to the house I don't care what they did they have okay all right shortly after the same man shot at two different cars driving down the road here just as they drove by him and he actually shot out the windows of those cars after huh when I rolled down past him he started at my window and at the um he started both of my windows like that he shot at your windows yes me and another person was riding and he shot at both cars did he damage your windows yeah it's like it's Rusty after the 9-1-1 calls started coming in officers raced here to the scene and they spent over an hour walking around on foot and with canines searching for one castileano some of the body cam footage that I have you can even see the officers with their canines right here at this particular spot searching for him but they found nothing he had completely disappeared but they would not have to wait very long at all to come in contact with him again on Sunday May the 23rd here in Athens it was so hot and at this park here this is Virginia Callaway Coffer Walker Park as you can see Walker Park here they have a splash pad and on the day in question it was packed all of the sudden though out of nowhere Juan castelliano decided that he didn't care for all of these families to be here having fun without him it's pretty clear that he was having some sort of mental issue on the day in question because one comes up the heel and he gets closer to the splash pad play area over here the people said that they noticed that he was talking to himself and it even seemed as if he was having a full-blown conversation just with himself just before one got to the splash pad gate here he made contact with a woman who was exiting and then all of a sudden out of nowhere he starts yelling at her and asking her if she's throwing up gang signs at him he started saying things that made no sense and then he reached into the camouflage jacket and he pulled out a rifle and pointed it right at her head somehow or another that's not clear to me the woman manages to get away from one without being shot by some miracle so it's at this point that the 9-1-1 calls start coming in and I am going to play a few of those 911 calls for you here in a minute after I finish getting through this part of the story after that lady got away from one he then turned they had two teenagers sitting here that were taking the money from the families and then they were allowing families Insurance into the facility so one castiliano gives those two teenagers PTSD and he points the gun right at him and then demands all of the money in the cash box and this crazy Brazen armed robbery that happened right in front of dozens and dozens of people so from here one could hear the police sirens getting closer and closer and closer and he knows that the cops are coming so unbelievably he starts walking down the path this way like headed towards the parking lot and unbelievably he picks up the phone and he calls 9-1-1 himself and for whatever reason he asked to speak to the state police Clark County 9-1-1 give me the state police okay well this is Clark County what can we do for you give me the state police okay this is 9-1-1 for Athens-Clarke County emergency in Athens-Clarke County all right passes Clark County 9-1-1 I need the state police okay what's going on I need the state police okay what is going on I need the state police okay you have to tell me what's going on man you are what I said no you have to tell me what's going on you can't just call 9-1-1 and get whoever you want to talk to you got to talk to me what's going on now after one robbed the the young teenagers and took all the cash money for the splash pad he was picked up by a camera that used to be positioned right here coming out of where the roll-up door is down here that's where they were taking the money he's picked up on camera coming out of there and then as he's heading out here towards the parking lot there is another camera mounted on the side of the building right there that sees one like walking this way towards the parking lot and as he's headed up this way he's like over here in the grass area you see a family with a few adults and there's a couple of kids coming up in front of them down the pathway here and you can see one he points the gun at those little children scaring them half to death like a monster and then as the parents are coming up he points the gun at them as well fortunately he didn't shoot anyone and they managed to get by him I guess they were headed over to the splash pad but one just continues on so Juan Castellano he spots this woman getting out of her SUV so he walks up to her and he pushes her aside and he hops into her car and starts to leave now this whole interaction where he steals this person's car is all caught on 9-1-1 audio it was happening as there was a caller on the phone with 9-1-1 at the time and again I'm going to play that for you in just a second so he hops into this person's car and he squeals tires getting over here to the road and he heads down the hill that way as one exits the parking lot up there and he starts coming down the hill he makes it around this curve and he gets about right in here when he notices that the cops are already here and they're posted up right here you can see them there's lights on their cars they're standing outside with rifles in hand looking up this direction he quickly hangs a right pops over the curve here and at the time this fence wasn't here and he goes across the sidewalk and down this hill right here through the grassy area and onto the street over there actually that whole ordeal is caught on the police officer's body cameras Juan has come down the grassy knoll over here and made it around this bin and he spots the police cars in the distance and two officers who are on foot who ran up from over there they are about right here with this light pole is and they're like running headed up in that direction and they spot one driving the stolen Honda Pilot so they walk out into the street with their rifles and command him to stop and it's at this point one stops for them it's at this point everything else that happened is recorded on the body cameras of the Athens Police Officers so I'm now just going to play that body camera footage without commentary so you can watch it as it happened and I should mention that I did utilize several different officers body cameras for the rest of this video and I did that just to give you a few different perspectives as to what happened but this is what happened directly after one Castellano carjacked an SUV from up there in that upper parking lot left the parking lot area drove his car to right in here and was confronted by police officers who actually used that pole as cover when everything happens and somebody said that they just saw him with a gun Athens Clark County 9-1-1 yeah somebody who wrote a trail because watch that somebody has a gun please come quickly okay they're already on the way man please come to 150 on the phone Clark County 9-1-1 I need you guys to hurry up there's a guy walking around at this black title trophy with a weapon
