The 13-year-old had taken a Metrolink train from his family's home in the San Fernando Valley on March 28th to help out a soccer Coach in Lancaster.

That coach, Mario Edgardo Garcia Aquino, 43, has been charged with the teen's murder during the commission of lewd acts on a child.

Aquino faces additional charges of felony sexual crimes involving two other teens.

The memorial along the road and down the embankment honoring Hernandez includes balloons, photos, letters, flowers, a soccer ball and a jersey.
