Oscar Torres Jr. was 14 when a playful moment on the evening of June 5, 2018, in Glendale, Arizona, ended in tragedy. He and a neighbor reportedly were handling a handgun that belonged to the friend’s mother and was not securely stored when the firearm discharged, striking Oscar with a single, devastating gunshot wound.

Oscar, who had just finished eighth grade at Estrella Mountain Elementary School and collected sneakers, was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and remained in a coma with significant brain trauma. He died a few days later on June 9, 2018. The shooting was ruled accidental; no information about arrests or suspects was released. His high school promotion papers reportedly arrived hours after the incident.

If anyone knew Oscar, the circumstances of that evening, or how the gun was stored, please share what you know.
