Jose Luis Garcia Jr. was 15 and a student at Theodore Roosevelt High School in East Los Angeles when he was murdered on April 30, 1992. Known as Lemon, he was at a park near his home that day and was described as being in the wrong place at the wrong time when the violent crime occurred. His death devastated friends and family who remember him as a beloved friend and community member.

Investigators were unable to develop immediate leads, and no significant arrests or suspects had been identified in the years after the killing. The case remained cold but periodically revisited by law enforcement as the family and community continued to seek justice and closure.

If anyone was at the park that day or remembers Jose, where he spent time, or has information that could help, please come forward.
