Honors Student Killed While Waiting for His Mom — 3 Years Later, His Killer Is Sentenced | True Crime News
Description
On a Friday afternoon in March 2023, 17-year-old Xavier Chavarin — a straight-A honors student months from graduating — was stabbed to death while waiting for his mom to pick him up from school in Los Angeles. His attacker was a stranger. Hours later, that same man stabbed a father of three about a mile away. Last week, more than three years after the attacks, David Anthony Zapata was sentenced to 24 years to life. Vanessa walks you through Xavier's story, the investigation, and a case with no motive that finally reached its end.
