Does Oscar die in On My Block season 4

On My Block rolled out its final season on Monday, and it includes some heartbreaking endings for a few of our favorite characters. One especially sad moment happens in episode five as Oscar (Julio Macias) prepares to move to Portland. After being heavily involved with the Santos gang throughout the series, Oscar decides to leave Freeridge and start a new life for himself with Isabel (Andrea Cortés). As Oscar attempts to get his brother Cesar (Diego Tinoco) away from the gang violence in the town, he asks Cesar to go with him. Though Cesar initially declines his offer, he eventually agrees to go with him to Portland after a near-death encounter with another gang shakes him up.

As the two get ready to celebrate their move with tequila shots, Oscar goes outside to take a phone call with Isabel. He excitedly tells her that Cesar will be joining them in Portland before a car pulls up to the house and he abruptly ends the phone call. Moments later, Cesar hears gunshots and goes outside to find Oscar bloody on the ground. Cesar questions who shot him, but before Oscar can say anything, he dies in his arms.

Though it's insinuated that Oscar was killed by someone in one of the Freeridge gangs, the shooter's identity is never revealed, something actor Julio Macias says was "100 percent" intentional. "On the day [of filming], there were lines that we had crafted and kind of thought about saying this or that. And then Lauren [Iungerich], she ran over and she pitched this idea that I loved and I think everyone agreed: don't say anything. Just nod," he told Hollywood Life.

Macias added that Oscar's final moment with Cesar was his way of helping Cesar leave behind a life of crime once and for all. "If he says it was this person, then we absolutely know he's going to go after the guy," he explained. "But if he says nothing, and he just holds that intimate moment with his brother so that it really does resonate with his feelings, and so that Cesar does have to walk around with this idea of: what did he mean? He didn't give me anything which, in a way, gives me a blank slate."

While we are completely heartbroken over the way Oscar's story ends, fans do have more On My Block to look forward to. Netflix has ordered a spinoff of the show titled Freeridge, which will feature an entirely new cast and explore an unseen side of the neighborhood.

Since it first arrived on our screens back in 2018, On My Block has told the stories of a group of high school students and their families living in a fictionalised inner-city area of Los Angeles.

But while their exploits at school have been light-hearted enough, there has always been an undercurrent of drama and violence to the series thanks to its setting in the gang-contested neighbourhood of Freeridge.

In season 4, On My Block fans had to bid farewell to one of its long-standing characters, Oscar ‘Spooky’ Diaz, as he was shot dead which has left many viewers asking just who is responsible for killing the character.

Who killed Oscar in On My Block?

The exact identity of Oscar’s killer isn’t revealed but it was almost certainly a member of one of Freeridge’s feuding gangs.

When he was first introduced to On My Block fans back in season 1, Oscar ‘Spooky’ Diaz was a leading member of the Santos gang and made a number of enemies across Freeridge as a result.

In season 4, Oscar has left the gang life behind and hopes to start a new life in Portland but that doesn’t mean the gang life has left him behind.

When Cesar runs out to check on Oscar, he asks who shot him but his brother doesn’t respond as he knows that if Cesar went on a revenge mission it would only lead to more bloodshed.
