Soccer Coach Charged With Sexually Abusing, Murdering 13-Year-Old Boy Turns Out To Be Illegal Migrant

🛂Immigration authorities have confirmed that a youth soccer coach accused of sexually abusing and killing one of his players is an illegal migrant.

🛂Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer with the Los Angeles County jail for Mario Edgardo Garcia-Aquino, a 43-year-old Salvadoran citizen living unlawfully in the United States, the agency confirmed Wednesday to the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation. Garcia-Aquino is accused of killing 13-year-old Oscar “Omar” Hernandez, a San Fernando Valley, California, resident found dead earlier in April.

Hernandez was reported missing by his family March 28 after he visited Garcia-Aquino, his soccer coach, but never returned, according to local prosecutors. He had boarded a train to Lancaster, California, and was never heard from again.

The 13-year-old boy’s body was later found in Oxnard, California. Prosecutors believe Garcia-Aquino attempted to sexually abuse him before the murder.

“No parent should ever have to endure the unimaginable pain and sorrow of learning their child has been murdered,” District Attorney Nathan Hochman said Monday in a prepared statement. “Oscar simply boarded a train and little did he or his family know that he would never return.”
