A community in Los Angeles is mourning the death of 12-year-old Khimberly Zavaleta, who tragically passed away following a brave act to protect her sister from a bully. Another student allegedly threw a metal water bottle that struck her head at Reseda High School in Los Angeles, which prompted a homicide investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).
Khimberly's death has sparked grief among classmates, teachers and her family, who describe her as a joyful presence and the 'baby' of the household.
