CONOVER, N.C. -- Conover police said a man estranged from his common-law wife is responsible for her stabbing at a Laundromat early Sunday.
Authorities are searching for Fong Kong Yang, who they believe stabbed Lao Vang and her friend outside the VIP Coin Laundry on Thornburg Drive Southeast.
Vang, 21, was stabbed twice and died from her injuries. Her friend, 23-year-old Keng Chang, was stabbed multiple times and is currently in critical condition at Catawba Valley Medical Center.
Police said they found Yang’s car abandoned in Caldwell County several hours after the incident. Yang has not yet been taken into custody.
Investigators said Yang is the father of Vang’s two young children, who are now being cared for by her family.
Anyone with information about Yang’s whereabouts is asked to call Conover police at (828) 464-4698.

Thoughts? I found an October 2015th legal briefing which says the charges against Yang were dismissed without prejudice: www.leagle.com/decision/In%20FDCO%2020151009A47/U.S.%20v.%20FONG%20KONG%20YANG
However, "without prejudice" usually means a case is dimissed for whatever reason but can be brought up again at a later time. I have no idea for the reasoning, and perhaps it was dismissed simply because Yang never showed up. All I know is Conover P.D. still has him listed as their most wanted fugitive as of July 25th, 2016, after that court ruling, which I felt made it reasonable enough to still profile him and hope he can still be captured if still at large.
