Police Investigate Death of 19-Year-Old in Koreatown

Los Angeles police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of 19-year-old Joon Hee Han, who suffered a fatal head injury in Koreatown in late July. The incident occurred on July 25, when Han was transported to a Whittier hospital after sustaining a head injury that family members allege resulted from an attack. According to a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the incident took place in the 700 block of South Harvard Boulevard.

In their ongoing investigation, police have emphasized the importance of gathering accurate information before making further comments. "As more information becomes available and the sequence of events that led to Joon Hee Han's death becomes clear, we will provide additional information," the LAPD stated. They have urged anyone with knowledge of the incident to reach out to investigators at (213) 382-9470. The tragic incident has raised concerns within the community, and authorities are committed to uncovering the truth behind Han's untimely death. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
