The only Korean fatality of the L.A. Riots, Edward Song Lee lies dead at the intersection of 3rd and Hobart on the second night of the L.A. Riots. When Lee and his friends arrived at the intersection, responding to calls for help on a local Korean radio station from owners of a noodle shop, they began to take gunfire and were pulled out of the car. Ironically it was later discovered that another Korean American had accidentally shot Lee while defending a business. Now the intersection remains quiet and nobody would know Lee died here were it not for this picture and police reports.
