A year after a random attack on a Guam street left three Japanese tourists dead and 11 injured, the families of the victims are still trying to pick up the pieces of their lives.

On Feb. 12, 2013, then-21-year-old Chad Ryan De Soto drove his car onto the sidewalk in the town of Tumon, running down passers-by before crashing into an ABC convenience store. Exiting his car, De Soto stabbed several tourists at random on the street of the shopping district. He has pleaded innocent by reason of insanity to charges of aggravated murder.

Michiko Yokota, 52, whose 51-year-old husband, Hitoshi, died two days after being hit by De Soto's car, was among the 11 injured. Both of her legs were fractured. Now living in Itako, Ibaraki Prefecture, Yokota was released from the hospital at the end of January. She hopes to visit Guam soon to cope with her grief and thank the Japanese community there for their support.
