Woom Sing Tse, a 71-year-old retired restaurateur, was shot and killed on December 7, 2021, in Chicago’s Chinatown while walking to buy a newspaper around lunchtime. Surveillance footage shows a gunman fired from a car and then continued shooting after exiting the vehicle, firing at Tse even after he had fallen to the ground.

Chicago police quickly arrested 23-year-old Alphonso Joyner; he was charged with first-degree murder and denied bond. Investigators reported the shooter used a ghost gun with an extended magazine and fired more than 20 shots. Authorities have not announced a motive or determined whether the killing was a hate crime.

Tse, who had immigrated from China decades earlier, was remembered by family and the community as a hardworking grandfather of nine. A vigil was held in his memory; his family expressed grief and gratitude for the community’s support.

Did anyone in Chinatown or who knew Mr. Tse see anything relevant that day or before December 7, 2021?
