try walking in the dark

You are there,
hidden in the dark.
The wind carries with it your scent,

Now I am at peace.
Nothing is gone foreverβ
You and I, though we are apart for now,
weβll meet again when itβs time

June 5, 2023
It has been one year and three months since my daughter Christina Yuna Lee became an angel. Though I cannot begin to describe the hurt and sadness that our family has experienced since then, I sincerely thank everyone who mourned with us. Approximately 5200 people donated to our Gofundme campaign and raised $430kβit was tremendously consoling for us to think that there were so many out there who sympathized and wished to help.
From the start, the campaignβs objective was to communicate to the City of New York a call for a safer community to ensure what happened to Yuna would not happen to anyone else. However, amidst our distress and grief, our family was instructed by the law firm in charge of Yunaβs case to abstain from any media appearance or making political statements. Not long ago, the firm notified us that it wished to amend our existing fee arrangement. After much deliberation, we concluded the resulting legal fees would be astronomical, and that it would be best to obtain new counsel. Since then, weβve filed suit against the New York City Police and wish to candidly speak about what it is our family wants.
We believe there were several systematic reasons for my daughter Yunaβs death.
First is the lack of response against the increased unhoused population across the city during the pandemic. Had the City provided adequate assistance to those who needed shelter, perhaps Yuna could have come home safely that night. It is New York Cityβs duty to ensure the safety and wellbeing of its residents. It should also be noted that there were more crimes, particularly against Asian women, committed by unhoused persons during the pandemic.
Second is the New York City Policeβs inadequate response to violent crimes, leading to many more New Yorkers injured, or at times, dead. The police arrived at Yunaβs building in just three minutes. But they waited an additional hour and twenty minutes to actually enter her apartment, even though they had received calls from neighbors regarding the severity of the situation. When they entered, they caught the killer but my daughter was long gone. Are there not so many things the police could have done differently that night?
Now I wish to address direct demands that our family has for the City of New York.
First, we wish to name one of the homeless shelters near Manhattanβs Chinatown the βChristina Yuna Lee Memorial Shelter.β It will remind New York of the importance of crime prevention and giving care to those who need it. This demand is based on our familyβs wish that no one falls victim to a sudden yet preventable death like Yunaβs.
Second, our family has no desire to be involved in this lawsuit for years to come. It is our wish to come to a swift and fair settlement with the Cityβevery penny of the award will be donated to a homeless shelter named after Yuna to aid and support New Yorkβs unhoused population.
We believe this is the way to honor Yuna, who was taken much too soon from the family and friends who loved her dearly.
Thank you,
Sungkon Lee, Christina Yunaβs father

It has been one year and three months since my daughter Christina Yuna Lee became an angel. Though I cannot begin to describe the hurt and sadness that our family has experienced since then, I sincerely thank everyone who mourned with us. Approximately 5200 people donated to our Gofundme campaign and raised $430kβit was tremendously consoling for us to think that there were so many out there who sympathized and wished to help.
From the start, the campaignβs objective was to communicate to the City of New York a call for a safer community to ensure what happened to Yuna would not happen to anyone else. However, amidst our distress and grief, our family was instructed by the law firm in charge of Yunaβs case to abstain from any media appearance or making political statements. Not long ago, the firm notified us that it wished to amend our existing fee arrangement. After much deliberation, we concluded the resulting legal fees would be astronomical, and that it would be best to obtain new counsel. Since then, weβve filed suit against the New York City Police and wish to candidly speak about what it is our family wants.
We believe there were several systematic reasons for my daughter Yunaβs death.
First is the lack of response against the increased unhoused population across the city during the pandemic. Had the City provided adequate assistance to those who needed shelter, perhaps Yuna could have come home safely that night. It is New York Cityβs duty to ensure the safety and wellbeing of its residents. It should also be noted that there were more crimes, particularly against Asian women, committed by unhoused persons during the pandemic.
Second is the New York City Policeβs inadequate response to violent crimes, leading to many more New Yorkers injured, or at times, dead. The police arrived at Yunaβs building in just three minutes. But they waited an additional hour and twenty minutes to actually enter her apartment, even though they had received calls from neighbors regarding the severity of the situation. When they entered, they caught the killer but my daughter was long gone. Are there not so many things the police could have done differently that night?
Now I wish to address direct demands that our family has for the City of New York.
First, we wish to name one of the homeless shelters near Manhattanβs Chinatown the βChristina Yuna Lee Memorial Shelter.β It will remind New York of the importance of crime prevention and giving care to those who need it. This demand is based on our familyβs wish that no one falls victim to a sudden yet preventable death like Yunaβs.
Second, our family has no desire to be involved in this lawsuit for years to come. It is our wish to come to a swift and fair settlement with the Cityβevery penny of the award will be donated to a homeless shelter named after Yuna to aid and support New Yorkβs unhoused population.
We believe this is the way to honor Yuna, who was taken much too soon from the family and friends who loved her dearly.
Thank you,
Sungkon Lee, Christina Yunaβs father
