The Tragic Murder of Christina Yuna Lee
Relatives of Christina Yuna Lee and members of New York City’s Asian community are seeking justice and remembrance for their beloved daughter, who was brutally murdered in her Chinatown apartment. The call to name homeless shelters in her honor stems from a desire to keep Christina’s memory alive and prevent similar tragedies from occurring.
A Memorial Sanctuary for Christina Una Lee
In the wake of Christina’s tragic death at the hands of a homeless man, her father, Sungkon Lee, is advocating for the establishment of a “Christina Una Lee Memorial Sanctuary.” This sanctuary would serve as a tribute to his daughter and a reminder of the need to address issues surrounding homelessness and mental health in our communities.
Seeking Justice and Prevention
As the perpetrator, Assad Nash, faces justice with a 30-year to life sentence, the focus remains on honoring Christina’s memory and preventing similar incidents. Naming a homeless shelter after Christina is seen as a proactive step to raise awareness and encourage action in addressing the underlying issues that led to her tragic death.
Despite the challenges and grief faced by Christina’s family, their determination to seek justice, hold accountable those responsible, and create a lasting legacy in her honor is a testament to their strength and resilience in the face of unimaginable loss.
