The Asian Garden restaurant was located at 8015 Bandera Rd.
The owners, Shaoxiong and May He, their 6-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son were the only ones inside on the afternoon of April 23, 2001.
The little girl had just gotten out of school and was inside the restaurant watching TV when the unthinkable happened.
A man walked into the restaurant and headed to the cash register where May He was standing.
It's not exactly known what happened next, but as the man was robbing the restaurant, he first stabbed May He.
Her husband, Shaoxiong, went to her aid and was stabbed as well.
May died at the scene and her husband later died at University Hospital.
The little girl was not harmed during the incident, but police say she witnessed the crime.
A suspect was never identified and the case has gone cold.
