A white man accused of harboring anti-Asian bigotry will spend over 20 years behind bars for the cold case murder of a Hmong hunter who was shot and killed during deer season on Michigan state land in 2018.

Thomas Charles Olson, 35, was convicted by a Clinton County jury on one count each of murder in the second degree and felony firearm possession in February. Then, and now, he maintains his innocence.

Chong Moua Yang, 68, was shot in the back of the head while hunting in one of his frequent spots, the Rose Lake State Wildlife Area in Bath Township, on Nov. 16, 2018. His murder went unsolved for years.
