Detectives in Tennessee have accused the same man of murder for the second time this week. He has also been deported two separate times from the U.S.
This time, according to Metro Police, 31-year-old Kevin Castro-Garcia was accused of killing a 26-year-old Nashville man whose mother had reported him missing earlier this month.
Brandon Rivas-Noriega, one of the victims, reportedly drove a 2015 Ford Focus that was owned by his mother. The vehicle was last seen on October 3rd.
Rivas-Noriega had sent text messages to his family the week prior saying that he was having issues and needed money. His parents reported him missing on October 5th after phone communications stopped.
Detectives were informed that Rivas-Noriega frequently visited a home on Fanning Drive in Antioch during the search for the missing man.
They found Rivas-Noriega’s driver’s license, the Ford Focus owner’s handbook, and papers for a property on Rural Hill Road in Antioch when investigators scavenged the residence on Monday. Authorities also discovered the Ford Focus was parked behind a broken-down trailer.
In the car’s trunk, decomposing human remains were stashed away underneath supplies and blankets. According to police, an autopsy determined that the remains were those of Rivas-Noriega.
Additionally, numerous tattoos on the victim’s body had been “removed,” according to Metro Police. They did not specify by what method the tattoos were removed. He had also been shot many times before he died.
Castro-Garcia is currently being accused of abuse of a corpse and criminal homicide. Tuesday also saw the addition of a criminal homicide charge against Castro-Garcia for the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Elmer Nahum Miranda-Martinez.
His severely charred body was reportedly discovered on September 27th in the trunk of a burning automobile that had been abandoned in a forested location off of Franklin Limestone Road.
Metro police say that the assailant, Castro-Garcia, is a Honduran national who has previously been deported on two separate occasions from the U.S. in 2010 and again in 2018. According to online jail records, Castro-Garcia is still incarcerated with a $1.01 million bond.

Title: A Second Murder Accusation and Deportations: The Case of Kevin Castro-Garcia
Introduction:
In a shocking turn of events, Kevin Castro-Garcia finds himself at the center of another murder accusation. Detectives in Tennessee have accused him for the second time in a week, adding to his already notorious criminal record. This article delves into the details of both cases, shedding light on a dark story of violence and tragedy. Furthermore, it explores Castro-Garcia’s immigration history, as he has been deported from the United States on two separate occasions.
The Latest Accusation:
According to Metro Police, 31-year-old Kevin Castro-Garcia has been accused of the murder of a 26-year-old Nashville man. The victim’s mother had reported him missing earlier this month, prompting an investigation. Brandon Rivas-Noriega, the victim, was known to drive a vehicle owned by his mother, a 2015 Ford Focus. However, the car had last been seen on October 3rd, raising suspicions surrounding Rivas-Noriega’s disappearance.
The Search for the Victim:
During the search for Rivas-Noriega, detectives discovered that he frequently visited a home on Fanning Drive in Antioch. This valuable information led investigators to scavenge the residence, where they found significant evidence. Among the items uncovered were Rivas-Noriega’s driver’s license, the owner’s handbook for the Ford Focus, and papers related to a property in Antioch. Additionally, authorities found the Ford Focus parked behind a broken-down trailer.
A Gruesome Discovery:
Tragedy struck when detectives, searching the car’s trunk, uncovered decomposing human remains hidden beneath supplies and blankets. An autopsy confirmed that these remains belonged to Rivas-Noriega. Furthermore, it was noted that several tattoos on the victim’s body had been “removed,” although the specific method used was not specified. The autopsy also revealed that Rivas-Noriega had suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
Increasing Charges:
As the investigation progressed, the accusations against Castro-Garcia grew. In addition to abuse of a corpse, he is now facing a criminal homicide charge for the fatal shooting of Elmer Nahum Miranda-Martinez, a 37-year-old man. Miranda-Martinez’s severely charred body was discovered on September 27th in the trunk of a burning automobile that had been abandoned in a forested area off Franklin Limestone Road.
Deportation History:
Adding another layer of complexity to the case is Castro-Garcia’s immigration history. Authorities have revealed that he is a Honduran national who has been deported twice from the United States. The first deportation occurred in 2010, followed by a second deportation in 2018. Castro-Garcia’s immigration status raises questions about the effectiveness of immigration policies and the handling of repeated offenders.
Conclusion:
The accusations against Kevin Castro-Garcia, along with his history of deportations, present a chilling case that highlights the need for a thorough examination of immigration and criminal justice systems. As the legal proceedings move forward, it is important for authorities to ensure justice is served for the victims and their families. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of effective immigration policies and the need for comprehensive criminal investigations to protect the community from repeat offenders.
