Jose Aguilar was 14 and died in San Diego, California, on February 27, 1992. He was found deceased under suspicious circumstances, and investigators determined he had been involved in a violent altercation that resulted in his death.

Witnesses reported seeing Jose with several people on the night he died, and evidence at the scene included gang-related graffiti and other indicators of gang presence. Authorities identified and questioned several suspects and examined the possibility that the killing was gang-related. The prosecution struggled with witness cooperation and conflicting accounts, and the defense stressed the lack of direct evidence and heavy reliance on circumstantial links to gangs.

At trial the jury convicted the primary suspect of second-degree murder; other individuals faced charges connected to the incident. Does anyone have information about Jose, his activities, or the people he was seen with that night?
