Castic graduated with a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul University in 2020, and his LinkedIn profile indicates that he has been employed with Goldman Sachs since August 2022. According to the NYPD, Castic, a resident of the Lower East Side of Manhattan, was last seen leaving a concert at the Brooklyn Mirage at around 3 a.m. on Saturday.
Castic’s death marks the second in recent weeks to be discovered in Newtown Creek. The other victim, 27-year-old Karl Clemente, was recovered in June and also had been to a concert at the Brooklyn Mirage, Bloomberg reported. It took several days before his disappearance was discovered. The NYPD informed Insider that Clemente’s death is still being investigated by the city’s medical examiner.
According to security provided by New York’s WPIX, Castic was last spotted leaving the club where he was last seen. Castic sported a printed button-up shirt, khakis, and white sneakers. The Canadian electronic music group Zeds Dad had played a concert he attended. WPIX was unable to get a response from Brooklyn Mirage.
