Friends to memorialize slain teen
WHITTIER -- Friends of a 17-year-old Whittier High School student killed in a shooting are planning to gather today at the school for a memorial.
Paul Juarequi, a Whittier-area resident, was fatally shot during a robbery Friday at a house party in the 9800 block of Calmada Avenue.
Another 17-year-old boy was wounded in the shooting.
The memorial will be held at Whittier High School, 12417 Philadelphia Street, from 9 a.m. to noon, said 18-year-old Christina Milleman of Whittier, who described herself as a friend of Juarequi.
Following the memorial, friends will hold a car wash at the school to raise money to help the family with services, she said.
Milleman added that Juarequi was a senior at the school, very smart, a football player and well-liked student.
He wanted to join the Navy after graduating high school later this year, she said.
