This young man was taking from his Family and his friends too soon. I had read on facebook about Sebastian being a big online gamer(360) , so I got in contact with a local police officer i know and with crimestoppers and compiled an event to honor someone who would of been at home within our community, as he held Family and friends close to his heart. Sebastian was the type of gamer that loved alot of the things we as a community hold dear and stand for. I am working with Sebastians brother Boris on this event, and want to thank him for allowing us to hold the event in Sebastians honor.
This event we hope will bring family, friends, and strangers out to honor Sebastian doing something he loved and one of the games he loved, and to learn more about Sebastian. And the main focus being to bring in more money for the reward to help catch the person or persons responsible for this senseless act of violence.

The following writing is from the above mentioned site a little about Sebastian.
About Sebastian:
Sebastian Ochensius died on June 29, 2010, when an unknown person broke into his home in the Bentwood subdivision in northwest Gainesville, Florida, and shot him multiple times. The attack occurred in the late hours of the night, while the family slept and Sebastian was in his family room. Sebastian’s father heard the noise from the shooting found his son on the floor. He held Sebastian in his arms as the 16-year-old passed away.
The killer is at large and being sought by police.
Sebastian came to the United States from Chile on Christmas Eve of 1994. Sebastian was only one year and 21 days old, when the plane arrived at Miami International Airport late that evening carrying him, his parents and his three older siblings — a brother and two sisters. Everything they brought to their new country was packed in their suitcases.
Sebastian’s uncle picked up the family members and drove them to Gainesville on Dec. 25. In a way, their arrival was their Christmas present. The Ochsenius family had left its native country because Sebastian’s father had business challenges. Larger competitors were making it difficult for him to make a living.
Sebastian’s grandparents had moved to Miami in 1988 and later to Gainesville; Sebastian’s father immediately went to work there, taking on two to three jobs at a time to support his young family. Once he had saved enough money, he started his own carpet-cleaning business.
Sebastian, or “Tan” as his family called him, attended schools in Alachua County. He was well liked and an excellent student. He had all A’s and only three B’s in his three years of middle school. As a freshman and sophomore at Buchholz High School, he earned A’s in Advanced Placement courses. He performed so well that he was ranked third out of a class of 525 students with a grade point average of 4.688. Even though he would have been only a junior this fall, he was receiving letters from colleges around the country asking him to apply for admission. Sebastian’s plan was to one day become a lawyer.
School did not define Sebastian’s teenage years. He loved to spend time with friends and family. He always helped around the house, and helped out his brother whenever he needed; all the siblings were very close.
Sebastian also made friends because he was funny and fun to be around. And Sebastian was a warmhearted person who had good friends. He believed the best in people.
