On a Wednesday night in June 1992, gunfire at the El Grande Market, a family-owned grocery at 805 E. 36th St., killed three men. Manager Fred Gee, 45, and his 75-year-old uncle Zwan Wong were found dead at the store; 32-year-old employee Raymond F. Arriola died en route to the hospital. Neighbors first thought the shots were firecrackers before the scene was revealed.

Police treated the incident as a robbery that turned deadly and initially questioned four teenagers but released them. Investigators sought two suspects described as a Black male and a Hispanic male, both about 20. A fingerprint on the driver’s side window of an abandoned car matched Christopher McCrimmon, and prints linking a person named Fong were found on produce bags near Fred Gee’s body. Legal filings in State v. Soto-Fong are associated with the case.
