Omarr Alonso Hernandez was an 11-year-old boy from San Ysidro, California, who was killed on July 18, 1984, during the San Ysidro McDonald’s massacre. He was one of 21 people fatally shot that day, including five children and a pregnant woman; 19 others were wounded. The shooter, James Oliver Huberty, was armed with multiple firearms and was later killed by a police sniper.

Omarr was described as bright and eager, with noted academic achievements and participation in school activities. He had been riding his bicycle with friends and approached the restaurant unaware of the danger when the attack occurred, cutting his life short and devastating his family and community.

The attack prompted extensive investigations into the shooter’s background and sparked discussions about gun policy, mental health, and public safety. Lawsuits were filed by victims’ families against McDonald’s and other entities over security and liability.

If anyone knew Omarr or was in the area that day and can share memories or information, please come forward.
