Evan Garber, a 59-year-old Vancouver resident, was killed while intervening in an armed robbery at the Kwong Chow Congee and Noodle House, 3163 Main Street. The incident occurred about 1:30 a.m. on April 28, 2006, when a single armed man confronted staff and began taking money. Garber stepped in to stop the robber and struggled with him; multiple shots were fired. Garber was fatally wounded in the restaurant. Another customer who tried to help was critically wounded and four more people were injured in the chaos.

Witnesses described the gunman as a white man in his mid-to-late 20s, about six feet tall and 170 to 180 pounds, wearing a light-colored baseball cap and loose outerwear. Investigators said a dark blue, older four-door sedan, possibly a 1989–1992 Chevrolet or Oldsmobile, was seen leaving the area. Garber’s family and regulars remembered him as peaceful, devoted to church and social justice, and a long-time restaurant patron who often defended others. A reward was offered and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew this man or the vehicle seen leaving the scene, can you share what you remember?
