With a bludgeoned body and lungs full of seawater, Oscar Gomez
was found along the shores of Santa Barbara, CA in mid November,
1994. Oscar was 21 years old, a Chicano activist, radio DJ, and
he was my friend.  Oscar was in Santa Barbara at a rally
protesting and covering the newly passed Proposition 187, the
anti-immigrant initiative, when he was killed. People believe
what took place that fatal night was a conspiracy by the
authorities, some a premeditated murder and others an accident.
Who would of wanted to kill Osca
