Update from Capt. Hahn as of 5/16: Homicide investigators are still making progress on this murder, but there is nothing new that I can report. Please keep in mind that on major cases we do not initially release a lot of information on the case because we do not want to jeopardize the investigation — especially prior to clearing the case/making an arrest. I know that the community is very concerned about this incident (as are we), but rest assured I will provide updates as we go along and be able to give you more information when we solve this case. Also, we still do not believe this is random act of violence.
