Jin Young Park, a 34-year-old Korean man, was found dead on January 31, 2016, in the 3400 block of West 7th Street in Koreatown, Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County coroner’s records list a single gunshot wound; Park was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:25 a.m. A passerby who saw someone rifling through Park’s belongings called police — that person, detained briefly, reportedly thought Park was merely drunk and passed out and was not considered a suspect.

Residents told investigators they heard a gunshot around 4:30 a.m. on the morning Park was killed, but detectives have faced challenges because Park had been living on the streets for years and was estranged from his family, leaving few connections to provide leads. As of the latest update, there were no arrests or identified suspects and the LAPD was asking the public for information, offering anonymity through Crime Stoppers.

Does anyone who knew Park, saw activity in that block that night, or has information about possible motives or witnesses in Koreatown please come forward?
