Angelina Camillia Gonzales death: Azusa community helps family of cheerleader found stabbed to death days before Christmas [Video]

AZUSA, Calif. (KABC) — A week after a 17-year-old Azusa cheerleader was found stabbed to death at her ex-boyfriend’s home, community members rallied together Saturday to help the teen’s family cope with the unimaginable loss.

A special fundraiser was held to raise money for Angelina Camillia Gonzales’ funeral. Community members sold tacos, baked goods and even organized a car wash, all to show their support for the Gonzales family.

“To see all the people here, it’s beautiful and heartwarming, to see everyone together in one place,” said the victim’s brother Ruben Torres. “I can’t be more grateful and thankful. It’s astonishing the amount of people here.”

Azusa Mayor Robert Gonzales also stopped by.

“This is a community that has always been together and supported one another, and this is a perfect example of a family that is going through a difficult time, coming here to support,” he said.
