HUNDREDS of people from Asian-American communities are expected to come out for a vigil at 5 p.m. today to call attention to the still-unsolved Jan. 20 robbery-murder of a Chinese-takeout owner in Tacony.
The vigil will take place in front of the now-shuttered Jin House, at Longshore Avenue and Tulip Street, where owner Xiang Huang, 27, was shot to death as his wife held their 8-month-old daughter.
A representative from the victim's family is expected to speak at the vigil, as will leaders of various Chinese community organizations.
The city is offering up to a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrests and convictions of the two robbers, described as masked black men dressed in black. Tipsters can call 215-686-TIPS (8477) or homicide detectives at 215-686-3334.
