It has been 24 years since the death of Robert "BJ" Raymond in Sarnia.
The 22-year-old was stabbed at The Border Club on Christina Street in Sarnia at around 2:15 a.m. on December 28, 2001.
At the time, Crime Stoppers said the downtown bar was full with hundreds of young people, many home for the holidays.
A fight broke out in the back parking lot as the bar was closing.
Crime Stoppers said "BJ" attempted to intervene after recognizing some of his friends were involved in the altercation, but was on the ground in minutes suffering from a stab wound to his heart.
Efforts to revive him on scene were unsuccessful, and he died in hospital.
Sarnia police recovered the weapon believed to have been used, however, the person responsible has not been located.
An extensive investigation was launched and several hundred statements were taken from the numerous patrons in attendance that night.
Sarnia police said at the time of a murder, witnesses are often reluctant to speak to police because they fear retaliation from others. These fears can fade as time passes.
The Sarnia Police Service is appealing to anyone with information regarding the case to call police at 519-344-8861 extension 6166, or Sarnia-Lambton Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
