Man dies after being knocked down by woman on scooter in Koreatown

A man died after he was knocked down by a woman riding a scooter in Koreatown, and his family is hoping the public can help police identify her.

The incident happened last Thursday just before 5 p.m. on James M. Wood Boulevard between Vermont and Westmoreland avenues.

Surveillance video shows the woman, seen wearing a pink shirt, zipping down the street. A man in a white T-shirt, who was also riding a scooter, was following her closely.

Soon after, Donny and Jenny Kim stepped onto the sidewalk. They didn’t see the woman on the scooter coming. The video shows the moment Donny was knocked off his feet.

The back of his head slammed the sidewalk.

“She said the blood was just coming out of his head, it was pouring into her hands, it was falling onto the pavement, and she was trying to call for 911,” said the couple’s niece Susan Park about her aunt.

She said the couple had just parked their car and was heading to an early dinner when Donny was struck.

Jenny spoke with Eyewitness News Saturday and said the woman on the scooter told her she would stick around.
