An incident that took place on February 17 at Reseda High School in Los Angeles has taken a serious turn after a 12-year-old student, whose identity has been protected, was arrested following the passing of a 12-year-old girl, Khimberly Zavaleta Chuquipa.
The sixth grader was allegedly hit in the head with a metal water bottle during a school altercation and later passed away after her condition worsened.
Her family believes the tragedy was preventable, as they accused the school of ignoring previous bullying incidents.
