19-year-old dies after being attacked in Koreatown

Detectives are investigating after a 19-year-old who was assaulted in Koreatown died from a head injury.

The victim was identified as Joon Hee Han, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Family members said Han was attacked in late July in the 700 block of South Harvard Boulevard. He fell down and injured his head during the violent altercation.

He remained hospitalized in a coma and earlier this week, police announced Han had died from his injuries.

A motive remains unclear as investigators work to piece together the events leading up to the assault.
