Police arrest 13-year-old in connection with murder of Highland Park liquor store clerk

TL;DR

Police said four teenagers went into the liquor store and tried to steal a six-pack of beer."As he was kind of following them trying to get the product back, one of the individuals took an electric scooter and bashed him in the head," said Nelle Reyes, the victim's daughter.Community members have since gathered outside the market after the alleged murder, placing candles and flowers in honor of the victim.Despite the tragic loss, she and her family are grateful for the outpouring of support they've received in recent days, especially now that one of the suspects has been taken into custody."Even though things are difficult, we're still eternally grateful for everything that everyone has done to be able to apprehend the first of the four," she said."
