Labrada went to Keys Gate Charter School in Homestead, Florida, according to Miami ABC affiliate WPLG.
“The Keys Gate Charter family is deeply saddened by the loss of Julio Labrada, one of our eighth-grade students," principal Corinne Baez said in a statement to WPLG. “Grief counselors are on site to help any students or staff who are struggling.
