Can you help solve this cold case in Sarnia?

Sarnia police are seeking the public’s help in finding any new leads for a cold case from over 20 years ago.
On Dec. 28, 2001, police say a physical fight broke out behind a local bar on Christina Street. Robert (“B.J.”) Raymond was stabbed in the chest, which ultimately led to his death. The person responsible for Raymond’s death has not been identified.
All unsolved cases remain open until an arrest is made and charges are laid, according to police. At the time of a murder, witnesses are often reluctant to speak to police because they fear retaliation from others. These fears can fade as time passes.
Investigators continue to appeal to the public for help and any information that can assist in identifying the person or persons responsible and can help solve this violent crime.
