At just 13 years old, he was on the threshold of a life full of possibilities—dreams, ambitions, friendships, and countless moments of joy yet to come.

Oscar’s disappearance sent waves of shock and concern throughout the community, and the search for him was met with collective effort, hope, and unwavering determination. However, it is with deep sadness that we now learn of the discovery of his body in the McGrath State Beach area in Oxnard. The Ventura County road, which once seemed like a distant location, has now become the site of a tragic end to a story that was only beginning to unfold.
