Five years ago Saturday, 50-year-old Chi Lik Wong was gunned down outside his Crestwood home. Now, Edmonton detectives are looking for leads to help solve the case.
Wong was shot dead on Sept. 9, 2012 at about 11:10 p.m. Officers were called to the area of 145 Street and 97 Avenue to reports of shots being fired. When they arrived, they found Wong lying on the driveway. He was later pronounced dead by paramedics.

Detectives are still trying to identify Wong’s killer.
“We’re looking for any leads from the public that will help us progress our investigation,” Det. Alan Elliott said. “It’s been five years since the Wong family lost their loved one to such a violent and tragic death.”
Investigators hope someone will come forward with information.
“Sometimes people with evidence are too intimidated to come forward to police at the outset of such a traumatizing event,” Elliot said. “We certainly understand that fear, though we’re hopeful that anyone with information regarding this murder will feel more comfortable now to contact police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.”
