ABC7 Los Angeles By Leo Stallworth and Christiane Cordero
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The 14-year-old girl who was fatally shot by Los Angeles police at a North Hollywood Burlington store as they fired at an assault suspect has been identified.
The L.A. County County Coroner identified the young victim as Valentina Orellana-Peralta, but did not provide further information regarding the cause of death. The LAPD believes she was killed by an officer’s bullet that passed through the wall of a dressing room, where she was found.
It’s unclear if the suspect who was also killed by police was armed with a gun, but one hasn’t been found yet.
