Community calls for help to solve murder of Cypress family
Shaken Chinese-American community holds vigil for slain family

Two dark-haired brothers are pictured on Santa's lap - Timothy Sun with a
full toothy grin and his little brother, Titus Sun, with the unmistakable
chubby cheeks of a toddler. Parents Maoye Sun and Mei Xie stand on either
side, smiling proudly.
The snapshot, taken in December 2008, depicts a classic moment in the life
of hardworking Chinese-American parents, one emulated by so many immigrants
who come to the country to make a better life for themselves and their
children.
On Saturday evening, the Christmas photo of the Suns was placed by a nervous
family friend against a bouquet of daisies and yellow chrysanthemums at a
memorial for the slain Cypress family. All four were murdered by bullets to
their heads in their suburban home, authorities said.
Their violent deaths, which made headlines around the globe, have shaken the
Chinese-American community. With investigators still trying to determine a
motive and identify suspects in the killings, their fears are deepened.
"For us it's like, 'How could this happen, they are such good people," said
the woman who places the family's photograph at the vigil, which was hosted
by the Houston Chinese Alliance at a northwest Harris County community
center near the family's home.
Fearful of the unknowns, the woman asked to be identified only as Mrs. Chu.
She says she's among those considering buying a gun to protect herself.
"We don't really know much about what's going on and I think that's what
most people are afraid of," Chu said.
The family was found shot and killed in their home in the 14000 block of
Fosters Creek Drive around 7:30 p.m. Jan. 30.
Authorities said the couple was last seen on Jan. 24. The boys, who swam and
participated in Boy Scouts, last attended school at Sampson Elementary the
day before.
Investigators are searching for an explanation for the shootings, Harris
County Sheriff Adrian Garcia assured the crowd at the vigil.
"My office is dedicating all resources available to help find those
responsible," he said. "I'm asking for your support to communicate about the
circumstances surrounding this crime."
Brilliant employee
Russ Stevens, who supervised Sun, who worked as an engineer at Cameron
International Corp., called the analyst a brilliant employee, who was
easygoing and patient.
"You could see the joy on his face when he was solving complex problems," he
said.
The company and the Houston Chinese Alliance are raising funds to offer a
reward for information, as well as for travel expenses to bring the Sun
relatives in China to Houston.
State Rep. Gene Wu told hundreds at the vigil that he understood the murders
hit everyone hard. The Sun family represents countless other immigrants who
come to the United States to make a better life for themselves, he said.
Worried parents
"All they wanted to do was be left in peace and raise their children," he
said, urging the Chinese community to break from traditional silence if they
have any information that could help solve the case. "This is not the time
for that."
Zhiqiang Liu, a Houston medical researcher who volunteered at the vigil,
said his parents were worried after they learned about the killings.
"They asked me to move back to China as soon as possible," he said.
Wendy Zhao, a Houston businesswoman, said she was too afraid to attend the
vigil. She said when her father in China saw the news on his local
television station, he reminded her to always lock her doors and windows.
"Some of my Chinese friends said they were too scared to visit Houston,"
Zhao said.
The crime has shaken other homeowners in the neighborhood.
"My husband is a hunter and he's been teaching me how to shoot," said Cindy
Mills, a 52-year-old mother of four. "When we went to the shooting range we
couldn't get in, the line was so long."
Growth and crime
Mills moved to the subdivision when it was a small community - before
construction on the Grand Parkway, before the outlet mall, before the
Northwest Medical Center. The area's population grew 70 percent, or by 30,
000 residents, over a decade.
"We're getting more traffic and we feel because of that we're getting crime
too," said Mills. "We used to be hidden away, but we're not now,
unfortunately.''
