On the morning of September 15, 1995, a robbery at the Bing Kung Tong social club at 20 NW 4th Avenue in Portland ended with the death of 61-year-old Bing Woon Joe. Around 1:20 a.m., four men described as Vietnamese entered, announced a robbery and ordered patrons to lie on the floor. Witnesses say one suspect approached Bing Joe as he lay on the ground and a single shot struck him in the chest. He was taken to Oregon Health & Science University for emergency surgery but died; an autopsy attributed his death to a single gunshot wound.

The four suspects were described in 1995 as Vietnamese males about 20 to 28 years old, 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 135 to 150 pounds, all with black hair; two were said to be wearing black jackets. The case remains unsolved and is listed as a cold case.

If anyone was at the Bing Kung Tong that night or has information about these men, please come forward with tips for investigators.
