The family of a young man killed in Santa Ana last week needs help to pay for his funeral

The family of Jamie De Castilla Campos, an 18-year old alleged Santa Ana gang member who was shot and killed in a homicide incident that occurred at around  10:40 p.m. last Sunday in an alley in the 600 block of East Pine Street, is trying to raise the money needed to pay for his funeral.

The SAPD suspects that Campos was killed during a botched drug deal.

Whatever it is Campos may or may not have done the fact remains that he was not yet an adult and he was someone’s child.

Campos’ family had this to say about his death and their need for help to pay for his funeral services, on their GoFundMe page:

We asked that you please help us raise money to be able to provide a funeral service for my loving 18 year old son Jaime De Castilla, we are a low income family and we ask that you please help us. My son Jaime was taken away from us sooner than he should have, I know that it was God’s will and that he is now in a better place now that he is with our one and only Savior. Anything will be helpful. I the mother of Jaime De Castilla and siblings ask that you please find it in your help to help us raise money to give my son the appropriate service that I know that he deserves. He was a loving son and brother.  Anything will help thank you so much, God bless you.

Campos attended Century High School, according to his Facebook page.

    • Your son was a known Lopers gang member. Him and his friends ruin and destroy the Very community they live in. He robbed Sold drugs and victimized helpless people in his community. I saw your son many times bully wetbacks and beat up people with his friends. Not by himself but in groups. As cowards do. Please ask his friends for money. They sold enough drugs and robbed enough people. Come on Lollipops step up for your dead homie!!

      • Your pathetic if you saw all those things why didn't you do something about it. Wait only because he lives in the Lopers neighborhood don't mean his from there. Its funny how your putting all this and at the end your disrespecting a neighborhood but yet bet can't even confront them. I dislike people that like to disrespect anyone or neighborhoods by web. That's coward. Keep your lies and stupidity to yourself.

  • F*CK THAT MOFO!!!! WHY SHOULD WE DONATE TO THIS FOOLS FUNERAL. HE DESERVED WHAG HE GOT...

    ALL GANG MEMBERS SHOULD JUST BE DUMPED IN A F*CKEN HOLE.

  • The Hispanic community always has excuses when they know their kids belong to a gang.

    Kill them all....

    WE NEED SAPD TOK CHASE THEM ALL DOWN.

    • It's not only Hispanic people its all races. People like to say Hispanic people are criminals they do this and that. But yet I see other races doing the same or worst keep your stupidity to yourself.
