Suspects Sought in Stabbing Death of Arcadia Man

Min Yin was stabbed to death while on the job in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Police Department has released a sketch and surveillance video of three suspects in the stabbing death of 75-year-old Arcadia resident Min Yin.

At 8 a.m. on Sept. 2, Yin was working at the Joy & Louis Corp.—a men and boys clothier on the 1300 block of 18th Street in Los Angeles—when the first of the three suspects arrived to pick up an item purchased Aug. 30.

As the suspect left the store, the two other suspects arrived and reportedly forced themselves inside. A struggle ensued, and one of the suspects allegedly stabbed Yin. All three suspects then fled the location. Meanwhile, Yin remained in critical condition at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center for nearly four months until he died Dec. 26.
