Thousands Raised For Teen Killed At Bus Stop In Long Beach

LONG BEACH, CA — Tens of thousands of dollars have been raised for a teen who was killed at a Long Beach bus stop Wednesday afternoon.

The 15-year-old boy, whose identity has yet to be released by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, was sitting at a bus stop in the area of Carson Street and Palo Verde around 2:56 p.m. when a car that had been speeding ran a red light, crashed and then overturned, hitting him.

The teen was taken to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries, police said, while the driver of the car that overturned was hospitalized in stable condition. It's unclear if the driver who ran the red light will face charges in connection with the boy's death.

Following the deadly crash, the boy's aunt started a GoFundMe to help pay for the cost of his funeral.

It has since passed its original $25,000 goal. So far, $45,520 has been raised out of a new goal of $50,000.

"We're overwhelmed with gratitude for the outpouring of love, kind words and condolences our family has received," the boy's aunt wrote on the fundraiser Saturday. "Thank you for your generosity, shares and donations. We're truly thankful. God Bless you all!!"
