Oscar Torres was 16 when he was shot to death in the early hours of Memorial Day, May 26, 2014, on South Mount Street in Baltimore. He was shot in the head and torso just before 2 a.m.; a second person was critically wounded in the same incident. Oscar had left Patterson High School to work and help support his family and was weeks away from his seventeenth birthday. His family, who are Catholic, expressed a wish to return his body to Mexico for burial.

Investigators identified 20-year-old Kevin Simpson as a suspect. Simpson was already sought in connection with a separate crash that killed 12-year-old Shanizya Taft; he was arrested on vehicular manslaughter charges after that collision. While in custody, police connected Simpson to Oscar’s killing and charged him in what they described as an armed robbery that resulted in the teenager’s death. Authorities also implicated Simpson in the killing of 27-year-old Martel Jackson two days earlier, and he faced multiple charges including murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, and assault. A memorial of candles, flowers, and a statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe was left at the shooting scene.

Does anyone have information about Oscar, his routines, or the events around South Mount Street that night?
