A motion to deny a retrial for an Alamo man convicted of killing a Donna teen has been granted, according to Hidalgo County District Attorney Terry Palacios.

Lawyers for Carlos Julian Contreras argued the trial was mishandled.

According to court records, the motion was filed on Monday, stating there was no "establishing entitlement to a new trial."

Contreras was sentenced to 60 years in prison in September after he was found guilty in the shooting death of 18-year-old Genaro Isaiah "Izzy" Castillo. Castillo’s body was found near Donna Lake in January 2020 after he was shot multiple times.
