Jose A. Felix was 17 when he was killed in Los Angeles on March 15, 2005. Authorities ruled his death a homicide and recorded the cause as a stab wound. The case prompted an extensive investigation that identified several suspects and led to multiple arrests.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys offered sharply different accounts during the legal process: the defense argued self-defense while the prosecution said the killing was deliberate. Family and friends of Jose gave emotional testimony about the loss. The court ultimately convicted the primary suspect of murder and imposed a lengthy prison sentence.
