According to the dedicated investigation team for the stabbing rampage at the Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency, a woman in her 60s, identified as A, who had fallen into a brain-dead state after being hit by a Morning passenger car driven by the suspect Choi (22) during the incident, ultimately died around 2 a.m. that day.

On the afternoon of the 3rd, Choi wielded a weapon at citizens inside the AK Plaza department store in Seohyeon-dong, Bundang-gu, injuring nine people. Just before the stabbing rampage, he drove a Morning passenger car onto the sidewalk, hitting five people. Nine citizens were injured by the stabbing, eight of whom sustained serious injuries. Five people were hit by the vehicle; one died and four were injured, three of whom suffered serious injuries.

With A’s death, the number of victims in this incident changed from "14 injured" to "1 dead, 13 injured." Accordingly, the police changed the charges against Choi, who had been arrested the previous day on suspicion of attempted murder and other charges, to murder and others.

At the time of the incident, A had left home with her husband to dine out and was reportedly attacked. Choi’s vehicle struck A from behind as she was walking with her husband.
