Melanie Virgen was 13 when she was killed in a shooting at Libby Lake Park in Oceanside, California, on March 13, 2013. The shooting happened around 9 p.m. near a makeshift memorial for two teens who had been killed in the park two years earlier. Melanie and 16-year-old Edgar Sanchez Rios were pronounced dead at the scene; two other teenagers who were attacked survived.

Investigators determined the attack was gang-related and that the victims were innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire. Four people were charged in connection with the killings: Martin Melendrez, Santo Diaz, Michael Zurita, and Kevin Brizuela. In 2016 Melendrez was sentenced to 40 years to life for second-degree murder and attempted murder, and Diaz received 39 years for voluntary manslaughter after being acquitted of first-degree murder. Both Melendrez and Diaz expressed remorse during the proceedings.

If anyone knew Melanie, Edgar, or was at Libby Lake Park that night, please share what you remember.
