Shoua Her, a 20-year-old Chico resident, was fatally shot on September 27, 2008, shortly after leaving a Hmong New Year’s celebration at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds. The shooting happened in broad daylight while Her was driving near Park Avenue and 20th Street; an assailant in another vehicle fired multiple shots, striking him several times. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation stalled because potential witnesses did not cooperate, and the case went cold with no arrests announced at the time. Few details beyond the shooting location, time, and the lack of witness cooperation have been released.

If anyone was at the Hmong New Year’s event or driving near Park Avenue and 20th Street that afternoon and has information, please come forward.
