Thao Quoc Luu, 70, was shot and killed at his San Jose home on May 20, 2018. San Jose police responded about 7:38 p.m. to a residence on the 2600 block of Senter Road and found Thao Luu and his wife, Kim Lan Ly, both suffering gunshot wounds. Thao Luu was pronounced dead at the scene; his wife was critically wounded and later died nearly three months after the attack.

Investigators identified two suspects: Thao Luu’s son, 25-year-old Duong Luu, and 27-year-old Madison Muong. Both were arrested on May 22, 2018, in San Jose and charged with murder and attempted murder. Reports say an argument escalated before the shooting, though motive was described as initially unclear.

Thao Luu was known locally as a volunteer tai chi instructor at the Vietnamese American Community Center and was remembered as a devout Buddhist who helped others. Does anyone have information about the days leading up to the shooting or knew the family?
