Police in Manitowoc are searching for a suspect after a fatal shooting in the 2200 block of S. 9th Street.
"This is a tragic, horrific event, it's a shocking event that is not typical for the city of Manitowoc," said Captain Larry Zimney, with the Manitowoc Police Department.
Police say the shooting happened around 5:30 Friday Morning when the victim, Kor Yang, 52, heard a knock at his door.
"He went to the door, opened the door and was shot in the chest, he collapsed and died," said Capt. Zimney.
Zimney added the suspect ran away from the scene and said investigators are working to determine a motive.
"We are looking into all possible motives for this incident, what may have driven somebody to do this type of tragic event and we will be following all leads," said Capt. Zimney.
Yang's wife, two stepsons, ages 16 and 4, and one-year-old grandchild were home when the shooting happened.
The State Crime Lab and State Patrol have been called in to help investigate. Police say that is their standard protocol.
Manitowoc police do not believe this was a random act and say the public is not in danger. It's the first shooting homicide in the city since 2001.
Police are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at (920) 683-4466.
There is no connection to the Steven Avery case featured in the Netflix series "Making a Murderer," police added.
