Shooter Jimmy Kashi in court on Friday.

“I’m very, very sorry for the actions I have taken upon your family,” Jimmy Kashi said in court.

The victim's family showed Kashi pictures of Yeom in the hospital, gave the shooter an inscribed bible and said they have forgiven him.

According to Kashi’s brother Edmund, their mother would like to be a caregiver for Chester Yeom. Kashi said he also hopes to help take care of Yeom once he is released from jail.
