A Los Angeles police officer had shot a round through the dressing room wall, killing 14-year-old Valentina Orellana-Peralta. 'She died in my arms. I couldn’t do anything,' Peralta said in Spanish. 'Our sweet angel is gone forever.'
A picture of Valentina Orellana-Peralta outside LAPD headquarters memorializes the 14-year-old killed by a stray bullet fired by an LAPD officer at a North Hollywood clothing store last week.
A Los Angeles police officer had shot a round through the dressing room wall, killing 14-year-old Valentina Orellana-Peralta. Valentina arrived in the U.S. from Chile about 6 months ago and was an exceptional student. On their way to the Burlington store on the day she died, Valentina told her mother about her desire to continue to make good grades and eventually become an engineer and a U.S. citizen. Those dreams will now never be a reality, her parents said.
The parents spoke alongside several attorneys — including Ben Crump, a high-profile figure in excessive police force cases nationally, whom the father has retained to represent them. "I’m hopeful an investigation will come to the same conclusion. If this is somehow found to be within LAPD policy and protocol, those policies and protocols must be changed," he said.
