On the night of October 14, 2003, 15-year-old Chan Boonkeut of Richmond, California, was killed when a hail of gunfire struck through her front door just before midnight. Chan answered a knock at the door and was hit by bullets fired by assailants who believed, mistakenly, that a rival gang member lived at the Boonkeut home. The shooters were identified as members of the Sons of Death, acting in retaliation for an earlier shooting by the Color of Blood in an ongoing East Bay gang feud.

Within a month police arrested 19-year-old Cuong Chi Dang of El Cerrito and 24-year-old Seutitia Liua Fiu of San Pablo; both were later sentenced to 21 years in prison for their roles. Charges against two other suspects, Deng Phethvilay and Keooudone Somphonphakdy, were brought years later and eventually resolved with no contest pleas to manslaughter and reduced sentences, a development Chan’s family called too lenient.

Who in Richmond at that time might remember unusual activity or visitors at the Boonkeut home the night Chan was killed?
