Police have released new surveillance video of an alleged suspect in an unsolved murder in East Vancouver last year.

They say 37-year-old Zhuowen Gong was fatally stabbed while walking near Renfrew and Graveley streets around 9:45 p-m on November 2nd last year, and police say the motive behind the attack is still unknown.

Investigators have now released video of the person they believe is the suspect walking away from the crime scene, though no facial features are visible.

They're asking the public to take a good look and reach out to police if they have any information on the person's identity.
