    In the wake of rising violent crime in the Koreatown area of Los Angeles, a tragic incident recently occurred in broad daylight when a 19-year-old Korean-American youth was suddenly and fatally attacked by a Black man in what is being described as a random assault. The young man succumbed to his injuries after five days in a coma.

    According to local media reports, his father, Chris Han, explained that the incident took place on July 18 at approximately 4:30 p.m. Joonhee Han was walking near the intersection of 7th Street and Serrano Avenue in Koreatown when he was attacked by an African-American man.
