A security guard was stabbed and killed when an unidentified man robbed a China Town poker establishment and took off with $7,000 in cash on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
The victim, a 38-year-old Chinese man, died of several stab wounds and loss of blood.<\/p>\n
Police said no one witnessed the crime, but a surveillance camera took photos of the single robber.<\/p>\n
According to Department of Public Safety spokesman Eric David, the victim was alone at J&C Poker at the time of the robbery. No one was playing in the game room and the victim was acting both as cashier and security guard.<\/p>\n
Footage of the crime showed that the suspect was a Chinese-Korean man standing about 5\u20196 to 5\u20198 tall. He was wearing a white hat, a white jacket, a gray polo shirt underneath the jacket, and gray pants with reflector on the seam.<\/p>\n
Police found out about the incident after receiving information from a male 911 caller at 8:11am Sunday.<\/p>\n
Responding investigators found the victim\u2019s motionless body and called for medics to bring the victim to the Commonwealth Health Center. A doctor pronounced the victim dead at 12:07pm the same day.<\/p>\n
David said an autopsy will be conducted on the victim within the week.<\/p>\n
He added that police will put out photographs of the suspect as soon as they get a clear image from the footage.<\/p>\n
This is the first homicide in the CNMI for the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
