Kendrick Ray Castillo (March 14th, 2001 - May 7th, 2019) was an American student who was killed in the 2019 STEM school Highlands Ranch shooting. He lunged at one of the shooters, Devon Erickson, giving his fellow classmates enough time to hide from Devon. He was the only fatality in the shooting.

Eventually, Kendrick's killer Devon Erickson and Alec McKinney were arrested. Alec was convicted of 17 charges, and sentenced to life with the possibility of parole. Devon Erickson plead not guilty, and was due in court August 17th, 2020. His trial was set to begin on September 28th, 2020, however it was vacated through the end of the year. It was again pushed back to February 1st, 2021. Again, on January 15th, 2021, it was pushed back to May 24th of the year, also due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, which began that day, and on June 15th, Erickson was found guilty on 46 counts.
