Viet Quoc Minh Tran, 37, was shot and died on April 6, 2013, in a San Jose parking lot after a fight spilled out of a party inside Elite Car and Audio Performance on Senter Road. He was found bleeding from gunshot wounds and died at the scene despite emergency responders’ efforts.

The gathering that night included people linked to Vietnamese street gangs. Police detained and questioned 25 people who were at the scene, and reviewed surveillance footage, but investigators did not identify a clear motive or a suspect and the case remains unsolved. Tran’s killing is one of several cold case homicides in San Jose involving victims of Vietnamese descent who were shot at close range in locations tied to gang activity.

Anyone with information about Tran’s murder or similar cases in the area is urged to contact the San Jose Police Department.
