Foung Yang, 56, was shot and killed on June 6, 2014, at a Southeast Fresno apartment complex after returning from a grocery trip. The shooter was his son, Peter Yang, then 25, who fired a 9mm Glock pistol; Foung Yang was struck six times. Peter later said he believed his father had molested him and his two sons and testified that methamphetamine use two days earlier worsened his paranoia and fear for his family’s safety.

Peter told the jury his actions were meant to protect his children, and he said cultural pressures kept him from reporting alleged abuse earlier. The prosecution said there was no prior evidence of molestation and that Peter did not mention those allegations to investigators at arrest. Peter was found guilty of first-degree murder and using a firearm causing death and was sentenced to 50 years to life, with parole eligibility at age 75.

Was anyone in Southeast Fresno aware of tensions in the Yang household before June 6, 2014?
