Byline: Daily News

SUNLAND -- A 38-year-old man was found dead Friday after being hit in the head with an ax handle, police said.

Jae Kweon Oh left his residence Friday morning to go to work at his acupuncture clinic when an assailant attacked him, police said.

Nobody has been arrested, and police did not provide a suspect description.

Oh's wife found him on the sidewalk at 7:39 a.m. in front of their home in the 7800 block of Hillrose Street, and called police. Authorities found a fiberglass ax handle at the scene.

Hillrose residents silently watched as detectives searched Oh's house and the surrounding area Friday morning. Several of Oh's neighbors said they didn't know him very well, but that the incident frightened them.
