Oscar Palis was 17 when he was fatally shot on August 26, 1995, in Mission Hills, Los Angeles. He and friends were returning from a video arcade when they were confronted by members of the Asian Boyz gang at Woodman Avenue and Devonshire Street; the confrontation escalated and Oscar was killed.

Investigators tied the shooting to a wider pattern of violent crimes by the Asian Boyz in the 1990s. Marvin Mercado was identified as a leader linked to several murders and attempted murders, including Oscar’s. He received eight consecutive life terms without parole plus 30 years.

Does anyone have memories of that intersection or information about Oscar’s last night that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
