A fundraiser has raised tens of thousands of dollars for the family of an 8-year-old girl who was killed in what authorities described as the misfiring of an illegal fireworks display.

Homeowner Earl Decastro, 46, was nabbed and booked for involuntary manslaughter, though he has since posted his $25,000 bail.

An 8-year-old girl died Friday evening after a large fireworks display misfired in a Buena Park neighborhood in Orange County, authorities announced. Buena Park police officers were patrolling a residential neighborhood close to Knott's Berry Farm about 9:45 p.
