Peter Rim, 46, of South Barrington, mortally suffered a gun-shot wound to the head in the early morning hours of October 25, 2018. After a friend's birthday party, while riding passenger in a vehicle traveling on West Diversey Ave in Chicago, the car was struck by several bullets shooting from an unknown person in a vehicle also traveling westbound. Born in Suwon, South Korea, his family immigrated to Texas, and eventually Peter called Illinois home in the 1980s. He began his sushi career at the tenacious age of 18 and soon met one of his future business partners, Jino Kim.

Peter was avid for antique shopping, food, Chicago's Chinatown, Madonna, Johnny Cash, and enjoyed Chicago nightlife. He was an acquaintance to many and a friend to even more.
