A twice-convicted drunken driver pleaded guilty Feb. 9 to the second-degree murder of a woman who was walking home from a nearby park with her family in 2018.

Kamal Akwette Attoh, 42, of Irvine is expected to be sentenced April 8 to 15 years to life in prison for the collision that killed 44-year-old Jeongmi Choi and injured her husband, rupturing his spleen, and hospitalized the couple’s 15-year-old daughter and 18-year-old son, according to Senior Deputy District Attorney Whitney Bokosky who announced the charges.
