Angel Gabriel Reyes Hernandez was 15 and living in Saint Paul when he was shot and killed on December 23, 2018. He had moved in with his best friend’s family, was focused on improving his grades, and had asked for silly socks for Christmas. He was described as a beloved brother, grandson, and nephew making an effort to turn his life around.

Initial reports said a 16-year-old acquaintance, Oscar Cervantes, called police and claimed he and Angel had been robbed by a group of men who shot Angel in the parking lot of Arlington Arkwright Park. Later evidence changed that account: a Snapchat video showed Cervantes pointing a gun at Angel, witnesses said the shooting occurred earlier inside a local apartment during an argument between the two teens about a gun, and witnesses said Cervantes then recruited others to move Angel’s body. Cervantes was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office moved to have him tried as an adult.

If anyone knew Angel, his routines, or saw anything around Arlington Arkwright Park or the apartment that night, please share what you know.
