On July 23, 2011, 29-year-old Trini Do of Grand Prairie, Texas, was fatally shot by her estranged husband, 35-year-old Tan Do, during their son’s 11th birthday party at a roller rink. The attack also killed Trini’s sisters Lynn Ta and Michelle Ta, her brother Hien Ta, and her sister-in-law Thuy Nguyen. Four other people were injured; no children were harmed.

Trini had a documented history of violent abuse by her husband. She filed for divorce in 2008 and sought a protective order in 2010, then later withdrew both the divorce and the protective order after he promised to change. Court documents and her affidavit described repeated physical violence and threats, including threats involving guns. Tan Do was arrested at the scene and charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder.

The community responded by supporting the orphaned children and raising awareness about domestic violence. What information do readers have about Trini’s life or the family that might help with understanding what happened?
