Car Wash Fundraiser To Be Held For Families Of Halloween Hit-And-Run Victims
SANTA ANA (CBSLA.com) — A fundraising car wash will held Saturday for families of the three girls killed by a hit-and-run driver on Halloween.
The fundraiser will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Fairhaven Elementary School in Santa Ana for Andrea Gonzales and twin sisters Lexandra and Lexi Perez.
The 13-year-olds were hit and killed while trick-or-treating last Friday.
A rosary for Andrea Gonzalez will be recited from 5-9 p.m. Friday at Holy Family Cathedral, with services scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Saturday at the church in Orange, according to a family spokesperson.
A wake for twin sisters Lexandra and Lexi Perez will be held from 6-9 p.m. Friday at Funeraria del Angel, also known as MacDougal Mortuary, with services scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Saturday at Our Lady Guadalupe in Santa Ana.
Supporters of the girls' families have set up GoFundMe accounts to help pay for memorial services. Donations have topped $44,000 for the Perez girls and more than $32,000 for Gonzales.
Authorities have charged 31-year-old Jaquinn Bell, of Orange, in the deaths of the teens. He is being held on $1 million bail on charges of gross negligent manslaughter and hit-and-run.
Bell was driving without a license and was drunk at the time of the accident, according to police.
