Tragedy struck Reseda Charter High School last month when 12-year-old Khimberly Zavaleta died following an altercation. Her family alleges that Zavaleta was struck in the head with a water bottle during the fight, leading to a brain injury from which she later succumbed at the hospital.

The Los Angeles Police Department stated that the individual arrested is also a minor, though no additional information has been disclosed at this time. Zavaleta's grieving family has initiated legal action by filing a claim against the Los Angeles Unified School District.
