On the morning of December 27, 2010, employees at Top Perfect Nail salon on Bessemer Road in Birmingham found owners Nhut Phan and her husband Jacky Nguyen shot dead at the business. Jacky was discovered slumped against a wall in the back of the salon and Nhut was found seated in the back office; both had sustained gunshot wounds to the head.

The couple were last seen alive about 4:00 p.m. the previous day when other employees were leaving; the salon was scheduled to close at 6:00 p.m. and the owners were known to sometimes stay late to accommodate clients. Investigators have considered robbery as a possible motive, and Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama is offering up to a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew the couple, worked at or frequented that salon around December 2010, or has information that could help, please come forward.
