Body of missing Oscar Hernandez,13, found in Southern California [Oxnard] - Soccer coach charged

Hate it when you already had a good idea of what way a case is going to go doesn't make it easier when it does this has happened so many times its always the same basic plot child - person of authority/trusted individual ect - child missing - lies about when/where child is - previous history not know by people (most of the time a check should of been made and shown history/steps already in place to stop said person from being near kids) - truth about history found out - child found luckily most of the time alive in this situation (ie when with person of authority/trusted individual ect) it's not always in this order but it's always the same story
 
Our law enforcement sources tell us there was also a 2022 sex case against Aquino but the L.A. County District Attorney's Office did not file criminal charges.
Soccer Coach For Teen Found Dead Questioned, Busted For Unrelated Sexual Assault

so now we have two cases of alleged SA against this "coach" where the DA opted not to pursue charges. One in 2022 and the other in 2024. And now a boy is dead. :(
 
His name is plastered all over MSN, I would bet that LE has talked to many.
yes, his name is plastered everywhere. But nowhere can I locate an image. His face should be plastered everywhere to draw out more info about possible previous misdeeds and to inquire if any witnesses saw him during key points of Oscar's missing timeline. That info could help tie him to the murder or provide him with an alibi for it. IMO

I believe he will end up being tied to the murder and disposal of this boy. His family deserves some closure and justice. Hoping LE has many leads and that his arrest for the previous SA allegation will hold him in jail and buy investigators time while LE pursues the leads and evidence in Oscar's case.

this article describes him as a POI in Oscar's case so I would think we can. If at all concerned about it you can report t check with a mod IMO

Still reeling from the loss, Alejandra said her family last saw the young boy on Friday after dropping him off at a San Fernando Valley Metrolink station at 7 p.m. so he could meet his soccer coach in Lancaster. Oscar and his coach were introduced to each other through an afterschool soccer program at Whittsett Park in North Hollywood, according to the family.

"His soccer coach made soccer jerseys," Alejandra said in Spanish. "He had taken other soccer teammates to help him, and that's why my brother went."

Alejandra added that a sibling called Oscar on Friday night to check on him, but the coach answered the phone.


"Then at 9 p.m. my brother called Oscar but the coach answered," Alejandra said in Spanish. "He said Oscar couldn't answer because his hands were full of paint."

Will be interesting to know if Oscar's remains have any paint on him, anywhere ?
I.e., under his nails, etc.
Imo.
 
ADMIN NOTE:

No individual has been officially named by LE to be a POI in this case, therefore no person is open to sleuthing at this time. If /when an arrest is made in THIS case, then sleuthing openly on a named POI is allowed.

His identity was not released as police have not publicly confirmed that he is the same person being questioned for the boy’s death.

KTLA reached out to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for more information on the case but was only told that the case remains an ongoing investigation.

[...]

While police suggested in a news conference Wednesday night that there was a person of interest in the case, they did not identify a specific person, nor has any additional information been released by investigators.
 
Bautista described her son as a happy kid who loved soccer and was excited that he was about to receive his visa so he could return to visit relatives in Honduras.
Soccer coach of 13-year-old boy found dead in Oxnard arrested on unrelated sex assault charge

the irony is not lost on me. His family moved here about three years ago in order to pursue a better life. Oscar had dreams and goals. He was excited to returning to Honduras soon for a visit with friends and family left behind. And he died right here, in the land of opportunity. Just so unfair. :(
 
Prosecutors in Los Angeles filed a murder charge with special circumstances Monday in the disappearance and death of Oscar Omar Hernandez, the 13-year-old boy who vanished after visiting a soccer coach in the Antelope Valley last month.

 
Oscar Omar Hernandez***Hochman’s office announced that it would be holding a 4 p.m. press conference Monday afternoon, and, citing law enforcement sources, Garcia Aquino would be named as the suspect in the boy’s killing

Missing 13-year-old boy Oscar Omar Hernandez was found dead in a ditch earlier this week in Oxnard and his family says he was last seen with his soccer coach, 43-year-old Mario Edgardo Garcia Aquino.

Aquino is facing one count of assault with intent to commit another felony, which prosecutors allege was the attempted rape, sodomy or oral copulation of a man for the 2024 sexual assault case ... according to NBC4, which was first to report Aquino's arrest

A soccer coach identified by the family of a missing 13-year-old boy as the last person who had contact with the teen was questioned about the disappearance and booked on an unrelated sexual assault charge, according to law enforcement sources and court records.

The man in custody, Mario Edgardo Garcia Aquino, 43, was arrested by LAPD detectives Wednesday morning on a warrant issued earlier that day in an unrelated sexual assault case that was investigated last year by the LA County Sheriff's Department.

According to the criminal complaint in the 2024 investigation, Garcia Aquino faces a single count of assault with intent to commit another felony, which prosecutors allege was the attempted rape, sodomy or oral copulation of a man.

And he was a COACH?!!! 😡
 

The coach has been jailed since last week on an unrelated 2024 sexual assault charge; authorities said there may be more assault victims​


Garcia Aquino, 43, had been expected to make an initial appearance on that assault case in court in Lancaster Monday, but deputies said he wasn't brought to court for medical reasons.


The case filed Monday charged Garcia Aquino with a single count of first degree murder, with the special circumstance allegation that the murder happened during the commission of another violent felony, such as a robbery or rape.
