A Northbrook man is facing charges for allegedly speeding and causing the crash that killed a beloved Glenbrook South High School senior on Mother's Day. The suspect in the case, 21-year-old Taeyoung Kim, made his first court appearance Saturday.Judge David Kelly said this was "a fast and furious deadly accident" and that it was the suspect's choice to weaponize his vehicle. He added that it was a "brazen disregard to human life.
"He's blaming a lot on himself as a father, maybe a lack of supervision," said Kuhn. Throughout the hearing, Niketic's mother held a photo of her son. Prosecutors said Kim had alcohol and marijuana in his system and that his own dash cam video recorded him running a red light and speeding from downtown Chicago to suburban Glenview. The speed limit on Lake Avenue is 35 miles per hour.
