CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – A Charlottesville family is asking for assistance after the parents were critically injured a Halloween night shooting at a party they were hosting.
Franklin Lindsay, one of four children in the family, posted a GoFundMe page seeking contributions to support the Lindsays in the wake of the shootings.
“On Halloween night, what was supposed to be a fun and safe celebration turned into a heartbreaking and traumatic memory for our family,” Franklin Lindsay’s message on the pages said. “Our mom, dad, and another guest were shot at the Halloween party we were hosting. Both of our parents were critically injured and are now facing a long and uncertain road to recovery.”
Charlottesville Police have arrested Juan Gavin Castillo, 20, of Greene County, and Kaijon Cortez Sholes, 20, of Charlottesville in connection with the shootings.
Castillo is charged with two counts of malicious wounding, two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and two counts of maliciously discharging a firearm within a building or dwelling.

A 44-year-old male, a 44-year-old female and 20-year-old male, all Charlottesville residents, were transported to UVA in stable condition at the time.
