“Her father’s still in disbelief. He wants justice as any father would want. She wants justice as any mother would want. What would you want if your baby was killed in this manner? That’s all they’re asking for,” the family’s attorney said.
Soledad Peralta closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around her teenage daughter and prayed for their safety inside the Burlington store dressing room.
Peralta fought back tears while describing the harrowing scene as she and the girl’s father, Juan Pablo Orellana, stood outside LAPD headquarters in downtown L.A. on Tuesday to demand justice for their daughter. “When I got a phone call and heard that my daughter had been killed by the Los Angeles Police Department, my world came tumbling down on me,” he said in Spanish. “I don’t have words to describe what I’m going through.”
Crump has represented other families caught in the spotlight after police killed their loved ones, including the family of George Floyd, whose killing by Minneapolis police in 2020 sparked global protests over police brutality.
