2015 cold case: Who killed Sanford store owner Joshua Hur?
On December 23, 2015, Joshua Hur was robbed, shot, and killed. The Sanford store owner was on his way to church hours before Christmas Eve. He left behind two children and a lasting mark on his community.
"We got a phone call around 7:11 in the evening there were gunshots heard at the Kim’s food store in Sanford," said Investigator Sharon Nettles of the Sanford Police Department.''
"The motive for this, based on all the evidence and interviews and the whole case we think is robbery," said Nettles. "We do know the people involved did know his routine and knew he would be leaving at that time."
''Hur was known as Mr. Kim to the community. He was active in his local congregation in Orlando. In fact, that’s where he was going the night of his murder, to an evening service at Green Hill Church.''
''
My dad was a good man, he didn’t deserve what happened to him," said his son Caleb during a vigil in 2016. The 63-year-old moved here from Korea in 1993 and in the early 2000s bought the convenience store "Kim’s Food Store."
