Friends and family members held a funeral service Saturday to honor a 13- year-old boy who was found murdered in Ventura County.

Loved ones gathered at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church to
honor Oscar Omar Hernandez, who was found murdered on April 2.

Mario Edgardo Garcia Aquino, 43, a traveling soccer coach with the
Hurricane Valley boys soccer club near Sylmar, was charged in connection
to Hernandez’s death.

Hernandez’s family reported him missing on March 30 after he failed to
return home. They’ve repeatedly claimed that Garcia Aquino was the last
person to see him alive after the boy took a train to visit the man’s
Antelope Valley home when he disappeared.

Hernandez had planned to earn extra money by helping the coach paint
soccer jerseys, his family said. But when his family called his cell
phone, the coach reportedly answered and said Hernandez was too busy to
talk.

The family contacted law enforcement and three days later on April 2, the
boy’s body was discovered in a ditch in a wooded area off an Oxnard road.

Garcia Aquino has also been charged in a separate sexual abuse case
involving a 16-year-old boy in a February 2024 incident, according to the
Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

On April 7, he was charged with assault with intent to commit rape
involving the 16-year-old, court documents said.

He was also the subject of a Los Angeles Police Department investigation
into the suspected sexual assault of a minor in 2022 but wasn’t charged
because the alleged victim declined to testify against him, according to
the Los Angeles Times.

Both victims were allegedly connected to Garcia Aquino’s soccer coaching,
the Times said.

On Saturday, April 12, Hernandez’s family and loved ones gathered for his funeral service. The boy’s mother was overwhelmed with grief and nearly
fainted when she approached his casket.

“It’s just crazy how he could be a soccer coach, coaching all these little kids, when in reality he had this whole backstory,” said Andrew Barrios, Hernandez’s friend. “It’s heartbreaking seeing your friend in a casket.”

Hernandez was a 7th grade student at Sun Valley Magnet School and was an excellent soccer player, his friends said. His family moved to the U.S.
from Honduras just three years ago.

He first met Garcia Aquino at the Valley Plaza Sports Complex in North Hollywood, according to this family.

Garcia-Aquino was charged with murder with special circumstances — lewd
acts with a child. He could face the death penalty. He is also an
undocumented immigrant from El Salvador, multiple law enforcement
officials told the L.A. Times anonymously.

The boy’s family wants justice for his death. At a candlelight vigil on
April 4, his grieving mother said in Spanish that, “Perhaps my son gave
his life for others to be exposed.”

The family released a statement on the boy’s death saying, “We are
devastated by the unimaginable loss of our beloved son Oscar Omar
Hernandez Bautista. His bright spirit and love for soccer brought joy to everyone who knew him. We are heartbroken that someone entrusted with his
care could commit such a horrific act.“

Garcia Aquino is scheduled to appear in court on April 30. Investigators believe more victims may be out there.

“There’s always a fear that there are more victims and we want to make
sure we account for everybody out there,” said L.A. County Sheriff Robert
Luna.

Anyone with information on the suspect or the case is asked to call the
L.A. County Sheriff’s Department at 213-229-1700.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
