Everybody calls her mama: Beloved store owner killed during Lakewood robbery

A makeshift memorial is forming outside the McChord Mart in Lakewood, and it's sure to grow throughout the day as family, friends and customers mourn the stabbing death of beloved store owner In Choe. Choe, a 59-year-old grandmother affectionately known as "Mama San," was killed in her store Monday night during a robbery. "Everybody that comes through our business here calls her 'mama.' That should tell you a lot," her son Elijah Choe told Q13. "They call her mama because she's just an open, big-hearted woman. She loves everybody. She's always been the type of person that would sacrifice everything for the ones she loved."
