On July 19, 2007, two plain-clothed police officers found an injured man on the path between River Roding and Herford Rd in Barking, England. The victim was 33-year-old Xiong Zhang and he was taken to the hospital with a brain injury. He would later die on July 27, 2007.
Xiong was an illegal immigrant from China and was selling counterfeit DVDs in the area. This is likely why he was targeted. A CCTV camera caught a black youth on a bicycle on the path, and then the youth left with a white bag suspected to be the missing DVDs. Police are searching for information on the youth and what information they may have on the murder.
