The parents of Valentina Orellana-Peralta, fatally shot by LAPD at a Burlington store in North Hollywood, call for justice for their daughter.
The parents of 14-year-old Valentina Orellana-Peralta, a bystander killed by a Los Angeles police officer in a shooting at a Burlington store in North Hollywood on Thursday, stood before LAPD headquarters in downtown L.A. Tuesday with handmade paper signs hanging over their chests.
The girl’s father, Juan Pablo Orellana, a bank clerk who had traveled from the family’s native Chile to Los Angeles on Sunday, also held back tears as he spoke about his daughter and the devastation her killing had brought. “Look, it’s brand new, it hasn’t been opened,” he said, emotion etched on his face. “I won’t rest until my daughter gets justice.”
Crump said Tuesday that Valentina’s family wanted the world to know that their daughter “was beautiful, intelligent and had the whole world ahead of her,” and that she “made exceptional grades at an English-speaking school even though English was not her native tongue.”“The family is completely devastated. They are still trying to get past this nightmare. Her father’s still in disbelief. He wants justice as any father would want. She wants justice as any mother would want.
Police officials have said the shooting is under investigation, and that the actions of all of the officers involved will be reviewed. They promised the investigation would be thorough, calling the girl’s death tragic.The shooting also killed the suspect, 24-year-old Daniel Elena-Lopez, who can be seen in video from the Burlington store attacking multiple people with a bike lock on a chain, seriously injuring one woman.
