Eduardo Galileo Oceja was 18 when he died after a gunfight in a Memphis parking lot on the night of October 30, 2022. Known to family as Lalo and to friends as Guacho, he had talked about returning to school through a GED program. Emergency crews found him with critical gunshot wounds on the 3900 block of Park Avenue; he was taken to St. Francis Hospital and pronounced dead. Three other people were wounded in the same exchange of gunfire.

Witnesses said an 18-year-old named Peter Vaca and others were in a vehicle involved in the shooting. Police identified Vaca from surveillance footage and witness statements, located the vehicle at his residence, and arrested him. He was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Eduardo’s death and three counts of attempted first-degree murder for the injured victims. Eduardo is remembered by his father, four sisters, and two nephews for his smile, loud laugh, and tight hugs.

Does anyone have information about Eduardo’s last night or the events in that parking lot that could help the investigation?
