An illegal immigrant youth soccer coach in SoCal could get the death penalty for allegedly raping and murdering one of his own players. Mario Edgardo Garcia-Aquino, an illegal from El Salvador, is facing more child sex charges in addition to being accused of raping 13-year-old Oscar “Omar” Hernandez and leaving his body on the side of the road in March 2025. The Los Angeles District Attorney filed nine new charges against Garcia-Aquino, 44, — separate from the brutal murder he’s accused — and alleged sex related crimes he was already facing involving two other teenage boys stemming from a December 2022 incident and another in February 2024.
