Unlicensed illegal immigrant charged in crash killing Paso Robles man

December 7, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

The 25-year-old driver who crashed into and killed a Paso Robles man last week is an illegal immigrant who previously lost his license, authorities said.

On the morning of Dec. 4, a 63-year-old Paso Robles man was driving a Lexus westbound on Highway 46 East when he stopped for a red light at Golden Hill Road. Gean Marco HuamanCastro, who was born in Mexico, was headed in the same direction in a Freightliner box truck when he failed to slow down and crashed into the back of the Lexus.

The 63-year-old man died at the scene.

Officers arrested HuamanCastro for vehicular manslaughter and booked him in San Luis Obispo County Jail. He was released from jail before an immigration detainer was filed.

Prior to the crash, HuamanCastro’s driver’s license was suspended.

Everyone should notice that KSBY manipulatively avoided and ignored the facts that the truck driver was illegal and was released from custody at the county jail before a proper detainer was prepared.

The DOJ needs to be informed of this.news, Karen. It is extremely infuriating to hear again and again that these morons from Mexico are even driving on our roadways.

Its crazy anybody charged with vehicular manslaughter that has no license would be released from jail so soon. Its even crazier a non citizen with no license at all who’s a risk to flee the country is released this soon after killing someone.

It’s a shame this innocent man has died. It’s a shame Democrats exploit illegal aliens for influence, power and votes. Save American lives, encourage deportations not coddling.

Isn’t this sad story more about a driver who lost his drivers license but chose to drive anyway, illegally? An innocent man lost his life due to this man’s blatant disregard of the law….many natural born US citizens have chosen to do the same thing. My condolences to the deceased man’s family and friends.

How do you expect an illegal to drive safely when they can’t even read the signs written in ENGLISH?

I’ve driven in 6 different countries without knowing their language and never caused or been in an accident. This is the about the stupidest comment I have ever seen.

Would you expect to be released from one of those countries jails within 48hrs of killing someone?

Were you hired to drive professionally. No you were not. Were you driving without a license? Yes you were. If you killed someone behind the wheel you would have been f%ck[d. Shut up.

This sort of scenario has repeatedly resulted in the tragic maiming or death of far too many innocent American citizens for far too long. The Trump Administration is entirely correct and justified in finally getting serious with all immigration, both legal and illegal. Enough is enough! It is disheartening to learn that this murderer was released from our county jail before ICE could detain him. Now, will Gean Marco Castro be returning to Bakersfield or fleeing to exile in Mexico?

How many times do we have to hear such stories before the state wises up and starts protecting citizens by actually enforcing laws n cooperating with the Feds on getting illegal criminal immigrants out of here! N how could this guy and the armed convenience store robber possibly be released from custody?!! ‍♂️

Its up to the voters to stop voting the same people into office or voting them into higher office in order for something to change. Sadly I don’t see the majority of voters changing how they vote any time soon which means these types of things will happen more often with no accountability.

It’s the machines and no voter ID in place that is causing the unfair elections.
