Se Vang and Lue Yang, an expatriate Hmong couple living in the countryside near Miramonte in Fresno County, California, are part of the local Hmong community, living a seemingly peaceful and sweet life, at least in the eyes of their neighbors.
But unfortunately, on December 27 last year, the couple was accidentally killed at home, their 11-year-old daughter was seriously injured, and their 7-year-old son was also at home, but fortunately safe.
The tragic events at home are reported to the police by the couple's 14-year-old son, but when law enforcement officers investigate, they discover the truth that scares them...
According to the Daily Mail on January 3, local time, Fresno County police reported the results of the investigation of the tragedy at the end of last year, which led to the death of the couple Fan and Yang, their 14-year-old eldest son, who made up the "facts" in the phone call he made after the incident.
Because the suspect is a minor, the police have kept his name secret, but have also publicized his heinous crimes.
After making the 911 call, the older son fled in the family's pickup truck. After an investigation by law enforcement officials, a manhunt was launched and he was quickly apprehended.
Fresno County Sheriff John Zanoni said in an interview that the case is under investigation and that they are still trying to figure out a possible motive behind the murder. Zannoni also believes that this murder is an isolated incident and there is no threat to society.
Zannoni also said the suspect used multiple weapons to murder his parents and tried to kill his sister. The badly injured girl regained consciousness after being taken to hospital.
It is understood that in the local countryside, it is relatively common for families to own weapons, whether knives, guns or similar items.
Meanwhile, the families of the victims and the suspects are also searching for "answers."
According to Yang's sister Lily, her eldest nephew "was a good kid, a normal kid, a normal American kid," so she and her family can't figure out what happened, "we want to know what happened and we want to make sure he's safe." Lily, meanwhile, described her sister and brother-in-law as loving parents.
"I've never cried so much in my life, but it's still unbelievable. If my tears could build a ladder to heaven, I would not stop crying until I could bring you back. Love you both so much, "Lilly wrote after learning of her sister's brother-in-law's death.
And now what worries Lily and her family is that three children have been orphaned, even though one of them is a suspect and is already in custody.
Under California law, a juvenile suspect cannot be charged with the same crime as an adult, but he was theoretically charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.
