A murder warrant has now been issued charging Nicholas Washington, 25, as the second person involved in the April 9th shooting death of Mario Armondo Rios Ramos, 33, in the parking lot of Biltmore Apartments on Glastonbury Road. Charged with murder in this case last month is Washington’s girlfriend, Gabrielle Castelianos, 20.
Washington is already in jail on aggravated robbery, drug and gun charges. He and Castelianos are alleged to have robbed La Mexicana Mercado at 989 Murfreesboro Pike at 8:45 a.m. on April 9, using Ramos’ truck as the getaway vehicle. It was determined that Ramos gave his truck to Castelianos to drive on April 7. The truck was parked and still running at the murder scene at 10:45 a.m. on April 9.
