Colorado Springs police went door-to-door on Thursday, passing out flyers to local businesses. They’re asking the public for their help for information about the murder of a Colorado Springs mother.

Yong Glenn was killed a week and a half ago at her tailor shop, Yong’s Tailoring. Her attacker is still on the loose.

“I was really shocked. I couldn't believe it because I thought that the neighborhood was safe," Glenn’s son, Matt, tells 11 News.

“She was probably one of the most generous people who ever lived," says Esther, Glenn’s youngest and only daughter.

"She was always looking to help people out. She was always happy and looking to do anything she could for anybody else. She was really selfless," says Matt.

On Monday, March 8th, Glenn was found shot-to-death inside her tailoring business that's been on the corner of Academy and Maizeland for a year and a half. Her car, a 2001 Gold Nissan Pathfinder with Colorado license plate 584-OMI, was stolen. Police suspect it was used as the getaway car by the suspect or suspects.

“At this point, we're looking at everything as a potential motive. We are looking at personal affiliation that possibly the suspect knew her. We're looking at robbery as a possible motive," says Colorado Springs Police Sgt. Jeff Jensen. Finding the car, Jensen says, is a key piece of evidence.

If you know anything about this murder, call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP. You don't have to give your name and you could earn a cash reward. You can also call police at 444-7000.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...if you ain't breakin' the law, there'd be no reason to get pulled over, huh? Speed limits are not a suggestion. I could go on. And on. And on. Humans...

to umknown- make sure you get your facts right before you go on about CSPD. There is a division just for DUI. And maybe if the taxpayers voted in favor of the city there would be more officers able to help. CSPD is already not getting paid what their fellow officers in surrounding areas get paid. I am sick and tired of hearing the citizens complain about CSPD. If you want to make sure your city is safe you need to pay for it.
