A Los Angeles police officer who shot and killed a teenage girl with a stray bullet will not be charged over the incident, the California Department of Justice announced Wednesday.

Officer William Dorsey Jones Jr. fired his rifle three times into a Burlington Coat Factory department store when pursuing a man who had attacked two women in December 2021. 

Valentina Orellana Peralta, 14 years old, was shot and killed while hiding in a dressing room with her mother, the bullet traveling through a wall.
