SANTA ANA – A reputed member of an Asian street gang nicknamed "Dragon" faces a death penalty trial beginning Monday for allegedly gunning down one woman and shooting at six other people in an unprovoked attack at a Cypress café in 2004.
Stephenson Choi Kim, 31, of San Gabriel, is charged with murder, six felony counts of attempted murder, street terrorism, plus several sentencing enhancements. He is also accused of the special circumstances of committing a murder for the benefit of his street gang, which qualifies him for a potential death sentence.
It is the first death penalty trial in Orange County this year. Opening statements are expected Monday before Superior Court Judge John D. Conley in the Central Justice Center.
