The sketch of a 1997 homicide suspect may be the key to solving the murder of 46-year-old Yang Yoon on January 21, 1997.

When officers arrived, they located Yoon suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Medics transported Yoon to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased. Witnesses provided detectives with details about Yoon’s involvement. They told detectives Yoon was in the store’s basement when the suspects entered the store with the intent to rob it.
