Omar Rene Rascon, an 18-year-old Latino, was shot during a party on Oceanside Street in Wilmington, Los Angeles. An argument outside the party escalated into gunfire late on April 14–15, 2007; Omar was struck in the torso at about 11:45 p.m. on April 14 and died of his injuries around 12:45 a.m. the next day. A 21-year-old man was also wounded and survived.

LAPD Harbor detectives investigated and arrested at least one Latino suspect. Investigators reported that the argument that led to the shooting was likely related to gang affiliations. The death prompted sorrow and frustration in the community and renewed calls for more engagement and support for at-risk youth to address gang activity.
