As the day goes on, we're learning more about the 17-year-old who died Monday night after getting swept by the ocean near the Manhattan Beach Pier on Sunday evening. Dexter Lima, of Torrance, who played junior varsity volleyball at Narbonne High School, was a well-liked, positive and happy kid.
Tonight, the girls' volleyball team had a fundraiser planned at Poquita Mas at 2625 Pacific Coast Highway. They decided to redirect proceeds from the event to Dexter's family to help with funeral and burial expenses. If you want to go, it's from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.. Mention Narbonne High School with your order.
We'll have an updated story later.
I was heartbroken to hear another student from Narbonne High School has died. As a mother of a recent graduate from Narbonne High School, words can not explain how this affects everyone.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God give you the stenghth and courage in this difficult time.
God Bless
