Do you know who murdered Wendy Kay Lim in 1997? In the early morning hours of May 28, 1997, a tragic and violent event unfolded in Portland, Oregon, that claimed the life of 34-year-old Wendy Kay Lim, a Caucasian female. At approximately 3:30 a.m., Lim was seated in the front passenger seat of a friend's car near the intersection of North Webster and North Albina Street. The pair had stopped their vehicle to speak with another friend.
Their conversation was abruptly interrupted by the arrival of a white car carrying two
African-American men. The passenger of this vehicle opened fire, shooting multiple times into the car occupied by Lim and her associate. Both Lim and the driver were struck by the gunfire. Emergency services were called to the scene, and Lim was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment of her injuries.
Despite the efforts of medical personnel, Wendy Lim succumbed to her wounds and was pronounced dead a short time after arriving at the hospital. The individual she was with at the time of the shooting was also wounded in the attack but survived. The case has since become a cold case, with no arrests having been made in connection with the fatal shooting. The identities of the two men in the white car remain unknown, and a motive for the shooting has not been publicly established by law enforcement. Investigators continue to seek information from the public that might lead to a breakthrough in this unsolved homicide.
