In the early morning hours of Aug. 3, 2013, 33-year-old Shaun Hibbard was shot near the intersection of Forest Street and Charles Street.

Police responded to multiple 911 calls after Hibbard knocked on doors looking for help.

Hibbard collapsed in a pool of blood on a front porch. He was taken to Leominster Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Prosecutors did not say what led to Yang's arrest a decade later.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Massachusetts State Police assigned to the district attorney's office at 508-453-7589 or email WorcesterDAunresolved@mass.gov, prosecutors said Tuesday.
