The suspect and victim did not know each other, Bosques said, and she added that this type of incident does not occur frequently.

“We don’t think it’s specific to the location,” Bosques added. “We’re very sorry to the victim. We’re sure it’s traumatizing, especially since it was a juvenile involved.”
