On March 10, 2006, in the heart of Honolulu, thirty-one-year-old Jason Nam was washing his car in his apartment garage. Three masked men pulled up in a stolen Nissan Maxima. A baseball bat. A handgun. A single shot.

By nightfall, the getaway car was torched in Mililani. A mask had slipped, a composite sketch was drawn, and an anonymous voice called CrimeStoppers. And then — nothing.

Nearly twenty years later, Jason’s family is still waiting for answers. His fiancée Sandra still remembers the phone call that shattered her life: “Jason’s been shot.” His parents, Michael and Alicia, continue to plead for closure.

This is Jason’s story — retold and remastered — not to replace the past, but to honor him, and to bring his case forward in the way it was always meant to be heard.
