A 15-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the overdose death of a 15-year-old girl at a Los Angeles high school earlier this week, police say.
The 15-year-old suspect is a student at Apex Academy, a public charter school that is independent from the Los Angeles Unified School District and shares a campus with Bernstein, police said.
When the teen who survived awoke, she found her friend unresponsive. She walked outside the school and found her stepfather who was looking for her, alerted him about her friend, and he tried to administer aid to her.A wider investigation into the source of the pills is ongoing. Moore announced Thursday that a second teen was taken into custody in connection with the park drug sale: a 16-year-old student who also attended Apex Academy and will be charged with sale of narcotics. He was described as a close associate of the 15-year-old suspect.Police have spoken to one of the overdose victims from the park drug sale, but are asking for the other victim to come forward.
He said an investigation with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Task Force will work to identify who is supplying the drugs to the two teens. Moore vowed to pursue an"aggressive prosecution."
