Carrollton Koreatown Shooting Suspect Charged With Capital Murder After Confession

Police say the 69-year-old confessed that a money dispute from business dealings drove the attack.

Overview

  • Police say the gunfire at K Towne Plaza on Tuesday morning left two people dead and three wounded, with a second related victim found at an apartment before officers arrested the suspect after a short foot chase near H‑Mart.
  • Authorities identified the suspect as Seung Ho Han, 69, who is being held in Denton County on two counts of capital murder and three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
  • Investigators say the shootings unfolded during a business meeting and that Han told detectives he was angry over financial disagreements tied to those dealings, adding there is no ongoing threat to the public.
  • Court records cited by local media identify the deceased as Sung Rae Cho and Edward Schleigh and list the injured as Olivia Kim, Yo Sung Kim, and Young Yoo, all reported in stable condition.
  • Carrollton’s Koreatown saw a large multi‑agency response that included the FBI, and the case now moves into a high‑stakes prosecution in a tight‑knit commercial district anchored by businesses like H‑Mart.
