Ashley Kim was 23 when she was shot to death at her parents’ home in Augusta, Georgia, on the night of December 19, 2016. She had returned from Colorado to spend Christmas with family. After shooting Ashley, Sonny tried to shoot his stepfather but was unable to properly load the magazine into the weapon.

Family members described Sonny as extremely intelligent but profoundly troubled. He told investigators he had planned to kill the entire family and then himself; family said he appeared dark and evil that night and that he had shown signs of severe psychological distress, including talking to himself and experiencing hallucinations. He had been diagnosed with mental illnesses including Asperger’s and schizotypal disorders. Charged as an adult with murder and related firearm and assault counts, Sonny pleaded guilty by reason of mental illness and received life with the possibility of parole after 30 years, plus court-ordered mental health treatment in custody.

If anyone knew Ashley or saw her in Augusta in December 2016, does anyone have information that could add context to what happened that night?
