1991 Teen Murder Case Solved After Suspect's 2007 Death

DNA evidence confirms Gerardo Aguilar, killed by FBI in Ohio, was responsible for the San Jose shooting of Raymond Ojeda.

Raymond Ojeda, 14, was fatally shot in a gang-related confrontation in San Jose in 1991.
Suspect Gerardo Aguilar, then 15, evaded capture and lived under a different name in Ohio.
Aguilar was killed in a 2007 shootout with the FBI, who were investigating him for drug trafficking.
Cold case investigators identified Aguilar through DNA analysis linking him to his alias.
The Santa Clara District Attorney's Office emphasized their commitment to solving cold cases.
