“I would be lying if I said they’ve explained to me what happened. I haven’t been given any information,” he said. “They only called today to tell me they had arrested someone who was linked to the death of my son.” Mejia said he told authorities he wanted justice for his son. “I said that even though he’s a minor, we’re interested that he pay for what he did,” Mejia said.He said Alexandria City High School, from which his son was about to graduate, “was a little out of control now.”
