🎄 Day 10 of the 12 Days of Christmas on Black, Brown, & Unsolved 🤎
Thirteen-year-old Oscar Omar Hernandez vanished after boarding a train in late March to visit his youth soccer coach… someone his family trusted. His body was found days later in a roadside ditch in Oxnard, California, after he had been reported missing. Prosecutors allege that his coach, 43-year-old Mario Edgardo Garcia-Aquino, murdered Oscar and dumped his body along the road. Garcia-Aquino has been charged with murder with special circumstances, which could bring life without parole or the death penalty if he’s convicted.
Oscar’s family says he had been helping his coach with soccer jerseys before he disappeared. Authorities found his body on April 2, and the Ventura County Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide.
In September 2025, Oscar’s parents filed a legal claim accusing the City and County of Los Angeles of negligence, saying that a proper background check on the coach could have prevented this tragedy.
