‘We have no idea how she got there. She was not gang-affiliated. She was such a good kid. She was a good student, a big help around the house. She was like my mom, she was like my mom. She was like a second mom,’ Denise Avila said. ‘She was always there and would clean up and make sure everyone had done their homework.’
