A 46-year-old Buena Park man has posted bail following his arrest after an 8-year-old girl was killed in a fireworks explosion on July 4th, police said Sunday morning.
The man, identified as Earl Decastro, posted $25,000 bail, Buena Park Lt. Jon-Michael Shaddow said.
Decastro was hosting a Fourth of July party, and the victim was the daughter of a family friend, police said Saturday.
A Buena Park police news release described what investigators said happened:
“Through initial investigation, a large illegal fireworks display, which was placed in the street by the homeowner, failed and began misfiring toward the residence where the child was. This caused other illegal fireworks to ignite, which were near the child and others.”
The girl, identified as Jasmine Nguyen of Anaheim, was taken to UCI Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
Charges are pending review by the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, police said.
