Elvis Castro had a lot of friends

More than 1,000 people have "liked" a Facebook memorial for Elvis Castro, a Roslindale teen gunned down early Sunday along with his mother, Elvira.

I felt like it was just yesterday when we were in middle school hanging having a good time laughing. You had a smile on all the time. You will always be in my heart.

A man in the apartment at the time was also shot, but is recuperating in a local hospital, according to police. Castro's older brother was not in the second-floor apartment in a Washington Street triple decker.

I remember in 8th grade when I was the new kid, you were the first person to talk to me and crack jokes so that I would feel comfortable. R.I.P Elvis and your mom too.

At least seven people have been shot on or near Washington Street in Roslindale since June, three fatally. Two food-delivery drivers have been held up at knifepoint in the area near Sunday's murder scene. Roslindale violent-crime map.
