Anthony Raymond Castillo

Pursuit

Driver Anthony Raymond Castillo and passenger Melissa Marie Miller were killed when their SUV crashed through a gate at the Naval Air Station Lemoore base and hit a parked FA-18E Super Hornet while leading the CHP on a high-speed chase. The chase reportedly began off base at around 11:30 p.m., when a CHP officer stopped to check on a Jeep Grand Cherokee parked on the roadside. Castillo allegedly sped off, driving erratically and going the wrong way at one point before leaving CA 198. Castillo eventually crashed into the fighter jet, which was parked about 7 miles inside the base, officials said. The chase lasted about 15 minutes. Miller died at the scene, and Castillo died at a hospital. Beither Miller or Castillo had any military affiliation, according to officials.
