Eina Kwon, 34, who was eight months pregnant, was shot four times — including in the head and chest — while sitting in her white Tesla during a traffic light stop at Fourth Avenue and Lenora Street at around 11 a.m. on Tuesday. Her husband, Sung Kwon, 37, was shot in the arm.
The gunman has been identified as 30-year-old Cordell Maurice Goosby, a convicted felon in Illinois, as per FOX 13. He was arrested at the scene shortly after the incident, reportedly telling police, “I did it, I did it.” He later claimed that he fired into the Tesla because he thought its passengers had a gun. However, surveillance video showed that he ran up to the car and fired his stolen gun into the driver’s window, according to KING 5.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help support the family and bring Eina’s relatives to the U.S. from Korea to see her one last time.
Race of victims not mentioned (even if it’s pretty clear from the names) as usual. Same thing I noticed in all the mainstream articles about an anti-gay cheer “marring the USA-Mexico soccer match” the other day. Had to get almost to the bottom of each article to get to the part where they finally conceded it was only the Mexico fans doing it.

What a shame, missed opportunity for international unity by the americans in the crowd.
