00:00:01
[music] >> I was uh [music] with the prosecutor's office for 30 years and uh this was my
00:00:11
last trial in my career. Being a prosecutor [music] has a has a lifelong effect on you.
00:00:21
There has [music] to be some way to come back to humanity and put the violence aside.
00:00:30
This was an aggravated [music] murder case. The victim's name is Gloria Choi. She was [music] a hardworking mom, a
00:00:38
good role model, and Gloria's parents talk about how she was kind of their angel. She spent most [music] of her
00:00:45
life working in the family business of running hotels. She came off very shy and quiet, but she
00:00:52
was nothing of those. >> [laughter] >> She was passionate about her family and her [music] son, had hopes and dreams
00:01:00
for herself. What we know is there were four calls >> [music] >> placed to law enforcement in the final
00:01:08
48 hours before she was killed. This person continues to stalk her, has slashed her tires, [music]
00:01:16
has stolen thousands of dollars worth of property. She called for help and she [music] was deprived of help that she's
00:01:22
entitled to under the law time and time again. The evening that she was murdered, she
00:01:29
was going home actually just [music] taking a break to eat dinner. He was right behind her when she left.
00:01:36
He knew everywhere she went. 911, what's your location, ma'am? Sir? I don't know where I am, but I'm scared
00:01:42
to get out of my car. He forced her vehicle off the road. She doesn't know [music] at that point who
00:01:49
this is and she's not able to drive anymore. Let me get police on line with that,
00:01:54
okay? Do you see a street sign? I'm right in front of the pole right there on Court.
00:02:00
And he approaches her vehicle and she notices he has a gun. He's right there. He's
00:02:06
Hello, can you hear me? All of a sudden, we heard a rapid-fire about seven or eight shots
00:02:12
and he just unloaded and I was just in shock and uh saw him disappear and I then ran over and called the police.
00:02:20
There's a pickup there, I guess, at the telephone pole with its lights on, motor
00:02:24
running. I don't see anybody in it. So, you heard three pops? No, we heard a lot
00:02:29
more than that. So, in all, 14 shots. Just riddles her car with bullets, right? Uh he's close
00:02:37
range. He's shooting right through her driver's side window. She should have been protected
00:02:45
>> [music] >> and she wasn't. Do you blame the police for not taking better care of your friend? [music] I do
00:02:51
blame the police for not taking it seriously. You have a perpetrator who's escalating.
00:02:58
[music] Any law enforcement officer who's following the training would know this
00:03:02
woman was in [music] incredible danger.
