Nam Hoai Nguyen, 19, was killed on November 8, 2019 at the Linda Vista Recreation Center in San Diego. Around 4:45 p.m., a confrontation between two groups of young men near a basketball court turned violent and Nam was shot. He was taken to a nearby hospital by paramedics and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of murder and booked into juvenile hall; his name has been withheld because he is a minor and the case is being handled in juvenile court. Motive for the altercation that led to the shooting has not been established.

Nam’s family and the community continue to mourn and press for answers. If anyone was at the recreation center that afternoon or has information about the confrontation, please come forward.
