The girl has been identified by family as 9-year-old Trinity Love Jones. Family members added items to an ever-growing memorial near where the girl was found in the 3600 block of Hacienda Boulevard near Glenmark Drive. Antonio Jones identified himself as Trinity’s father and told KTLA he wants answers and wants justice for his youngest daughter.
