The family of 14-year-old Valentina Orellana-Peralta, who was fatally shot at a clothing store, is demanding answers from the LAPD.LOS ANGELES -- A 14-year-old girl who was killed when a Los Angeles police officer fired at a suspect at a clothing store and the bullet pierced a wall was remembered Monday as a happy teen with many friends who loved sports, adored animals and excelled in school.
“As parents, we ask ourselves, is it just for our daughter to die in this way? It’s an answer we will never have,” he said. “We pray for peace and justice for this innocent blood spilled,” said Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the girl’s family. An emotional Crump led mourners in a chant of “Valentina is innocent!” during Monday’s service.
