| Trepierre Hummons (L); Officer Sonny Kim (R) |
When Sonny Kim arrived at the scene, he was fired upon and shot several times. Shots were exchanged and the male suspect was also shot multiple times.
Sonny was transported to a local hospital where tragically he died of his injuries. The young male suspect, Trepierre Hummons, age 21, was also transported to the hospital where he too sadly passed away.
It has been reported that Trepierre Hummons was recently having relationship problems with a girlfriend and was not acting rationally. The morning of the tragedy a sexual offence charge was filed against him.
It is believed that he intended to committee "suicide by cop". He phoned 911 himself and reported a young black male, who was belligerent and carrying a gun. He had posted on Facebook telling family and friends that he intended to commit suicide and that he loved them all. It is believed he wanted to lure cops to a confrontation so that they would shoot him.
Trepierre's mother arrived on the scene before the police did and tried to keep her son away from the officers, but was unsuccessful. She then attended to Officer Kim as he lay dying on the ground.
If you are considering ending your life or if you just need someone to talk to, call the
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, day or night. A skilled counselor will be able to help you.
Or go to the Emergency Room of your local hospital and state that you are losing it, that you are out of control, and that you need anti-psychotic medication and counselling services immediately.
Whatever you do, do not harm others.
Sonny Kim moved to the United States from South Korea in 1973 and grew up in Chicago. He had received 22 commendations since joining the Cincinnati police in 1988. The day of his death, Sonny was not supposed to be on duty but was working overtime.
Sonny was a karate instructor for more than 20 years.
The Cincinnati Police Department is in mourning over the death of their brother. Officials stated that they had lost one of their best officers. He was a dedicated cop and had a sense of humor. He was a mentor to others. His comrades' hearts are broken. Sonny will be forever remembered.
Sonny's loved ones are devastated over his sudden and tragic death. He did his best. He will be forever mourned.
Sonny is survived by many loving comrades, friends and family members including his wife, Jessica, and his three sons, Timothy, Joshua and Jacob.
Thank you for your service to the community, Sonny.
Pray for all who die in the line of duty.
Pray for all who die suddenly. They are with us one moment and are gone before we can say goodbye.
God save us from the Lost Ones who bring death to strangers. Amen.
Pray that Sonny is in heaven. Pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
