The death of a three-year-old boy in Chula Vista over the weekend has shaken those who work in the shopping plaza where the tragedy happened.
Chula Vista Police say it was just before 6:30 p.m. on May 27 when they received a report of a child hit by a car in the parking lot at 891 Showroom Place.
Eduardo Cervantes, manager of Play City at the strip mall, said the child's family told him they were coming to the business when the incident happened. The family also told Cervantes they are raising money for the boy’s funeral expenses. "When something like this happens to not only a kid but to one of the kids that comes to you, to your business on a daily basis, it hits you different," said Cervantes.
