Oliver Santos

Age 17

Baltimore, Maryland

Big smile stolen on Saturday night

In one photo, his baseball cap faced forward, headphones on and one hand in his pocket. In another, it was pulled to the side as he grinned slightly. In another, the cap was gone and he crouched against a corner of a wall, posing with a friend.

He was a good kid, an honest person, the best uncle, and was known for his positive attitude that persisted despite undergoing many challenges.

Oliver Santos, 17, was shot around 1 a.m. in West Baltimore on Sept. 22, 2018. He was taken to an area hospital and died shortly thereafter.
