GARLAND, Texas — A man who was shot on Monday by officers after shooting at them has died, according to Garland police.

Police said the incident happened in the 3900 block of Glenhaven Drive off Forest Lane between Plano and Jupiter roads.

According to police, two Garland officers in a squad vehicle were involved in a chase with a suspect, identified Tuesday as 32-year-old Adrian Castillo, after an attempted traffic stop around 5:30 p.m.

Police said Castillo stopped in the neighborhood on Glenhaven Drive, exited the vehicle and pulled out a handgun. According to police, the suspect fired multiple shots at officers. The two officers got out of their vehicle and returned fire, police said.

Castillo was struck at least once and was transported to a hospital in critical condition, according to police. Garland police said in an update on Tuesday that Castillo died from his injuries.

Garland police said "detectives are still trying to determine why Castillo fired upon officers." Detectives have learned that Castillo had a bond forfeiture warrant for indecency with a child, Garland police said.

There were no officers injured during the incident.

The two officers involved were placed on administrative leave, per department policy, amid the investigation.
