LOS ANGELES—The state Attorney General’s Office announced April 17 it will not pursue any criminal charges against a Los Angeles Police Department officer involved in a December 2021 shooting inside a North Hollywood Burlington store that killed an assault suspect and a 14-year-old girl who was struck by a stray bullet inside a dressing room.
The teen, Valentina Orellana-Peralta, was killed Dec. 23, 2021, while shopping with her mother—trying on Christmas dresses—at the store at 12121 Victory Blvd. The girl was in a second-floor dressing room when a bullet fired by Officer William Jones passed through a wall and struck her.
