Joshua Hur, a 63-year-old Korean-American store owner in Sanford, Florida, was shot multiple times and killed on December 23, 2015. He was headed to an evening service at Green Hill Church when he was robbed and shot outside his convenience store, Kim’s Food Store, at about 7:11 PM. Investigators said the motive appeared to be robbery and that the assailants likely knew Hur’s routine and that he had taken in money that day. The surveillance camera outside the store was not working, which complicated the probe.

Hur, known in the community as Mr. Kim, had immigrated from Korea in 1993, was active in his church, and often gave free food to those in need. His death devastated his family, including two children, and the Sanford community. The Sanford Police Department has continued to seek leads; as of the last report no arrests had been announced. Has anyone with knowledge of that evening or of activity near Kim’s Food Store come forward with information?
