Do you know who murdered Than Yim? In the early morning hours of December 20, 2009, the life of 33-year-old Than Yim, an Asian/Pacific Islander male, was tragically cut short in Portland, Maine. Yim had been at the Thanh Thanh Bida Club on Read Street, attending a birthday party. A large altercation erupted in the parking lot of the establishment, during which Yim sustained fatal injuries.
Following the fight, Yim was transported by car to Maine Medical Center.
Shortly after arriving at the hospital, he was pronounced dead. An autopsy was performed, but authorities have not released the specific cause of his death to the public. In the days that followed, friends and family gathered at a memorial in the parking lot where the incident occurred, leaving candles, flowers, and personal mementos in his memory.
The Portland Police Department, with assistance from the Maine Attorney General's Office, which handles most of the state's homicide cases, launched an investigation into Yim's death. Despite their efforts, the case remains an unsolved homicide. No arrests have been made in connection with the death of Than Yim, and no suspects have been publicly identified. Authorities continue to ask for the public's help for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the case.
