A public fact-finding review regarding the death of Ismael Barney Castillo was held on July 17, 2025, in Clark County, Nevada. The meeting was presided over by Ozzie Fumo, following a preliminary determination by the Clark County District Attorney's Office that no criminal charges would be filed against the officers involved in Castillo's death, which occurred on March 13, 2024.

The review aimed to present essential facts surrounding the incident to the public. Carl Arnold was appointed as the ombudsman, representing both the public and Castillo's family, and he was given the opportunity to question witnesses during the proceedings. The review was designed to be informal, allowing for a more open exchange of information regarding the use of force involved in the case.

Detective Todd Fasulo, the primary investigator from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, was called to present a PowerPoint detailing the investigation's findings. This presentation was intended to clarify the circumstances leading to Castillo's death.

Members of the public were encouraged to submit written questions for consideration during the review, although the presiding officer retained the discretion to determine the relevance of these inquiries. It was noted that some materials presented could be graphic, advising viewer discretion.

The review did not aim to render a formal determination regarding the cause or manner of death, but rather to inform the community about the facts surrounding the case. This process reflects Clark County's commitment to transparency and accountability in law enforcement actions.
