Oscar Curiel, a 38-year-old Latino man, was shot and killed on January 16, 2014, in Inglewood, California. The Los Angeles County coroner listed gunshot wounds as the cause of death. His family and community remembered him as a beloved family member and friend.

Investigators determined the killing was connected to gang-related activity rather than a random act. The Inglewood Police Department identified several suspects in the case. One man named Freddy Alfredo Curiel was later convicted of first-degree murder in a related matter and a gang-murder special circumstance was found true; the trial included jury instructions on aiding and abetting and the natural and probable consequences theory of murder.

The case generated multiple court proceedings and appeals tied to complex gang-related allegations. If anyone knew Oscar, his movements that day, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
