Los Angeles (AP) – A football coach for young people was charged in the death of a 13 -year -old child whose body was found on the side of a road in southern California.
Los Angeles County Prosecutors said on Monday that the boy was missing by his family on March 30 after mounting a train to visit the coach in Lancaster, north of Los Angeles. He has no longer heard. His body was found several days later in the county of Ventura, in the northwest of Los Angeles.
“No parent should ever have to endure unimaginable pain and sorrow to learn that their child was murdered,” said the Los Angeles County District, Nathan Hochman, in a statement. “Sexual predators … will be held responsible and prosecuted as much as the law.”
Prosecutors said Mario Edgardo Garcia-Aquino had been accused of a murder leader, the special murder allegation during the Commission or the attempt to commit obscene acts with a child. The accusations make him eligible for the death penalty.
Prosecutors said Garcia-Aquino is accused of killing the teenager, Oscar Omar Hernandez, then throwing his body along the side of the road.
Garcia-Aquino risks a possible maximum sentence of death or perpetuity prison without the possibility of parole. A decision on the opportunity to request the death penalty will be made on a later date, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said Garcia-Aquino is accused in a separate case of sexual assault to a 16-year-old man in Palmdale, north of Los Angeles, in February.
Several media reported that Garcia-Aquino had entered the country illegally. The Ministry of Internal Security and the US immigration and customs forces have immediately answered questions about its immigration status.
American lawyer Bill Essayli in Los Angeles said NBC Los Angeles, “It was a avoidable crime and the result of failed border policies.”
“We cannot and will not tolerate illegal foreigners who flout the immigration laws of our country, then the prey of children. Federal police will continue to be very aggressive in the location, apprehension and the pursuit of criminal illegal foreigners,” said Essayli.
