Thanks to Christopher Bell for sending the link — the case wasn’t on our radar: The P-I reports a man was found guilty yesterday in the deadly shooting of 14-year-old David Chhin, who was shot in August 2003 while riding his bike at 35th/Juneau. (Coincidentally, just five blocks west of there, at High Point Pond Park at 11 this morning, the community is gathering for a Youth Blessing Ceremony, in hopes this summer will be a peaceful one.)
David Chhin was one of my 7th grade students when he was killed. I hope that others are remembering him in their prayers today.
Sad, I remember when they found the gun years later in a mans yard nearby while he was clearing brush. Still think of that sad day whenever I drive by that site.
He was shot in front of my house, it was a nurse and myself who worked on him until the paramedics arrived, but he was gone by the time they got there. I live in Los Angeles now and occasionally google his name to see if they ever caught the man that did this. I guess I don’t have to do that anymore.
Sorry, comment time is over.
