The shooter is described as a Hispanic man who was possibly driving a tan or beige Mitsubishi at the time of the shooting shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday at a mobile home park at 2207 Burch Bridge Road in Burlington. Authorities think the shooting is connected to an argument over the purchase of a vehicle.
The sheriff’s department was called at about 8:14 p.m. Saturday. When deputies arrived on the scene, Abraham Cano-Castaneda, 20, and Juan Castaneda-Pena, 22, were both on the ground. Castaneda-Pena, whose address is unknown, was shot multiple times and was hit in the leg and the chest. Cano-Castaneda, who lived at the mobile home park, was shot at least once in the arm.

The sheriff’s department obtained a warrant early Sunday to search the residence after deputies went inside the mobile home to check for additional victims or suspects and found drops of a “brownish red substance, which appeared to be blood,” according to the warrant.
Deputies also saw several spent shell casings in the gravel driveway where the victims were found.
During the search, investigators seized the following items: a dental stone cast of a tire impression, a blue hat, a lighter, a cell phone, keys, a Winchester .45-caliber bullet, a piece of cloth, a paper towel, a wallet, $3.79, a gun-shot residue sample from the hands of Edgar Gerardo Castaneda Pena, 16 spent .45-caliber shell casings, a projectile removed from one of the victim’s clothing, five rocks with a reddish brown substance on them, a Marlboro cigarette butt, a white piece of paper with names, numbers and a brownish red substance on it, a folded white paper with a brownish red substance on it, eight white cardboard boxes with cotton-tipped swabs with reddish brown substance on them, a small metal tin with a projectile in it, the clothing from both victims as well as $460 from a wallet that belonged to one of the victims.
