Reward for tips in currency exchange owner murder

CHICAGO — An Illinois association is offering a $10,000 reward for information in the killing of a 55-year-old currency exchange owner whose body was found in the trunk of his car.

The Community Currency Exchange Association of Illinois says the information must lead to an arrest and conviction.

Brian Choi’s body was found in late December near his Chicago currency exchange.

A family member called police after the Wilmette man didn’t come home from work.

Authorities say Choi was fatally shot and have said the motive appeared to be robbery.

The association president says Choi was a devoted husband and respected member of the Community Currency Exchange Association.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Chicago Police Department.
